Brian McCabe / Founder

One researcher.
No hand-offs.

I’m Brian McCabe, and Usability.ie is me. The person you talk to on the first call is the person who runs the sessions and writes the findings. No account managers, no juniors, no surprises.

Selected organisations I’ve worked with

Where I come from

I learned how software
gets built. Then how it gets used.

I started in software development, so I know what a fix costs to build. That keeps my recommendations practical: find the task, find what’s blocking it, and give your team something they can ship.

Education

Computing in Web Development

Institute of Technology, Sligo

Postgraduate study

Master’s in User Interface
Software Development

University of Tampere, Finland

How I work with you

You deal with me.
It’s all in writing.

I run every project from the first call to the final findings. The proposal says exactly who does what, how, and what you get.

Then your team gets a prioritised set of changes to work from.

A digital security app

App opens couldn’t tell happy customers from lost ones.

A public-sector service

The form assumed the person typing was the person applying. Often they weren’t.

An investing app

The checks weren’t the problem. Photo capture and lost progress were.
