ABOUT THE TALK

Building an Operating System (OS) is a large endeavor and requires us to think about the developer’s experience in unique ways that are different from consumer product experiences. Unlike interfaces that cater to individual users, there is no one universal developer archetype that we have to cater for. Operating Systems have to take into account the collective and collaborative needs of teams that maintain different parts of the OS for instance, their different development contexts and tools used, which lead to different sets of requirements for different sets of users.

In this presentation, the speaker will share some of the recent work that he has carried out in better accounting for Fuchsia’s diverse sets of users and the various methods himself and how his team of UXers go about ensuring that their platform is simple to use, easy to understand and is effective in enabling developers to realize their goals.

Jude is currently a Staff User Experience Researcher at Google working on Fuchsia, Google’s next generation Operating System. His current work focuses on improving the developer’s experiences on Fuchsia via tooling and workflows. Specifically, he is pursuing a data-driven and mixed-methods approach, combining data science and interviews, to help inform teams about the developer’s experiences using their product.

Jude was formerly a tenure-track faculty member at the Dept. of Communications and New Media, NUS, where his research focused on harnessing collective intelligence, collaboration and cooperation for prosocial good. He received his PhD and Mac from the University of Michigan and has been awarded grants from the National Science foundation, National Heritage Board and the Rackham School of Graduate Studies.
