Maya earned a B.S. in Computer Science from IIT Madras and an M.S. in HCI from Georgia Tech, where her research explored voice-first accessibility for multilingual users. She began as a front-end engineer at a health-tech startup, rolling out WCAG-compliant components and building rapid prototypes for patient portals. That hands-on work with real users shaped her approach: evidence over ego, and design choices backed by research.
