Ananya Kittane Yogananda

Ananya is a Senior Engineer and Web Standards enthusiast who previously worked at Samsung R&D Institute UK (Samsung Electronics), where she collaborated closely with several W3C working groups – including Web Applications, Devices and Sensors, Accessible Platform Architecture, and Web DX – helping shape the capabilities of the modern web at the intersection of standards development and developer advocacy.

Outside of the web standards world, she has built high-performant, user-centric web applications with React and Angular for major clients. Having lived on both sides of the table – as a developer who consumes the platform and as someone who has helped define it – she brings a unique perspective on how the web evolves and why certain decisions are made. She writes code, and a whole bunch of standards too. Outside of work, you will find her travelling or jamming to some cool music.
