About Me

Hi, my name is Mario, but I go by Tre (for "3" in Italian). I am a User Experience Researcher currently looking for a new role! 

I graduated from the University of Washington in 2019 with a Bachelor's in Human-Centered Design and Engineering. During my time at UW, I took several courses learning about UX research/design, participated in several research groups, and even helped create and teach a course in front-end development.

After college, I worked at TIBCO as the primary UX researcher for several enterprise web products. After TIBCO, I worked at Meta, where I researched inputs and ergonomics for VR headsets on the Virtual Reality Hardware UXR Team. 

I am currently looking for a new role as a UX Researcher. If you are interested in learning more about me, please contact me through the links below. Thank you for taking a look at my portfolio! 

Outside of research, I am interested in education, video games, web accessibility, rock climbing, thrifting, plants, and pets. I have a cat named Kava who loves to get on Zoom calls during work from home.
