Maia Deutsch is a Product Manager with 12 years of experience building developer- and learner-focused products at Google, currently leading Developer AI initiatives to accelerate software development across Alphabet. Her background spans product roles in engineering education, open source tooling, and consumer learning apps—driving projects that reached millions of learners with high app-store ratings. She pairs an MS in Computer Science and an MA in Learning Design with hands-on front-end work (notably UI improvements to the popular Oppia open-source learning platform) to bridge UX, pedagogy, and scalable developer workflows. Maia has repeatedly shipped educator-facing and developer-facing solutions that scale across thousands of open-source projects and learners, bringing measurable engagement and usability improvements. Based in San Francisco, she combines research-driven product design with practical implementation experience across mobile, web, and open-source ecosystems. An uncommon strength is her hybrid experience as an instructional designer and engineer, which helps her translate learning science into intuitive product experiences for both users and developer teams.
