About Mike Covey
Director at Fishcake Research
ABOUT ME: I'm a mixed-method UX researcher with 10 years of experience running qual + quant projects for both B2B and B2C tech companies. I started my career in Silicon Valley, later moving to Tokyo and now currently Ho Chi Minh City.
MY FOCUS: I primarily mentor junior + mid-level researchers who want help with portfolio reviews, resume writing, and interview prep.
OUT OF SCOPE: • Entry-level career guidance • Managerial/team-building advice
WHEN I'M AVAILABLE: My preferred time for mentorship sessions is 8-9am ICT (Vietnam's timezone, GMT+7). I cannot accommodate sessions during working hours (9am-6pm Mon-Fri). I may also be able to book evening hours, but on a case-by-case basis.
Anything else, just ask. Thanks :)
