Hi, I'm Nikita Chumak

Nikita is a true researcher: empathetic, curious, critical thinker, grounded to reality. He has a background both in psychology and math, which just reinforces his varied technical skills. He always sees a big picture and thinks about the needs of the business, not just about particular case. And he genuinely strives to impact the product and help business to make the right decisions. One more thing that’s important to me: Nikita is very attentive to the valid arguments, so he can confidently communicate his point of view, but also reconsider it where there is strong evidence. These qualities make Nikita a competent and friendly colleague, whose opinion you want to listen to.

Recommending Nikita was incredibly easy — he has all the skills needed for a senior UX researcher role. In fact, he’s not just capable of handling the responsibilities of a single position; he’s ready to take ownership of an entire UX branch. Nikita helped to built the UX lab almost from the ground up — a challenging and highly impactful experience in my opinion.

A quick note on his skills: excellent communication, an engineering mindset when it comes to interfaces, a deep understanding of user psychology, advanced knowledge of AI, and a generally high level of technical expertise for a researcher. All of this makes it easy for me to confidently recommend Nikita.
