About Wesley Chan

User Experience Researcher at Facebook

Greetings from New York City! I'm an experience researcher at Facebook, studying how public figures, creators, and small-medium businesses use social media to grow and engage their audiences, and all the challenges they may face along the way.

Before this, I did experience research with navigation and digital voice assistants (Google Maps & Google Assistant), cybersecurity (Sumo Logic), and agencies like Applause. If we go back even further, I used to make lattes and cappuccinos at Peet's Coffee in downtown Mountain View, California.

We can chat about: differences in research teams for companies big and small (I've worked for both) ways to develop an interesting research perspective, especially when first starting out in the field transitioning from academia to industry interview processes, resumes, portfolios negotiating job offers

I'd love to hear from you. I promise to be an open book with my journey.
