Neha talked about a few projects she worked on for the visually impaired. The first was in collaboration with TechBridgeWorld, an organization that facilitated the implementation of accessible technologies for developing communities. The second was during her time at Google Maps. 

Neha Rathi is the primary front end developer for Flow, Sidewalk Labs' mobility subsidiary. Prior to joining Flow, Neha worked on Google Maps in San Francisco. She was responsible for the "popular times" feature as well as keyboard exploration, a screen-reader-compatible tool that makes Maps more accessible for visually impaired users.

A Virginia native, Neha completed her B.S. in Computer Science and M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University. In her free time, Neha enjoys running, cooking, and traveling.
