Portrait of Malavika Vijayan

Hi, I'm Malavika.

I design thoughtful AI products for real-world problems. At Suki.ai, I shape AI-assisted experiences across clinical reasoning, documentation, and revenue cycle workflows. My work is focused on simplifying complex healthcare systems through research-driven design, ensuring critical information reaches clinicians when they need it most.

Previously, I spent time at SAP Labs designing enterprise complaint-handling systems, co-founded a non-profit education platform that won a global hackathon, and researched the psychology of browser delight at Microsoft Edge.

Outside the screen, I illustrate, do pottery, and read across genres. I hold a soft corner for slow brewed coffee, and the written word.
