About HuVia

Origin

Built from inside the work.

HuVia Technologies was founded by Sarah Wheeler and her son, Maddox Wheeler. Their experience meets at the intersection of high-stakes cognitive performance, language access, and AI infrastructure.

HuVia exists to answer a single question: what would it take to measure cognitive performance in any high-stakes role? Sign language interpreters became the first deployment, the vertical the founders knew best and the one where the measurement gap was most acute.

Team

Focused leadership.

Sarah Wheeler

CEO & Co-Founder

Sarah grew up as a Child of Deaf Adults and has lived inside Deaf community spaces her entire life. She served in the United States Air Force and has spent more than twenty years in sign language interpreting and language access, a field where a single cognitive error under load can alter a legal outcome, a medical decision, or a classroom’s trajectory. She holds two master’s degrees, one in interpreting pedagogy and one in psychology. She founded Building Bridges Global LLC, a certified SDVOSB, WOSB, and VOSB federal services firm that delivers interpreting and language access at scale, and serves as an RID Sponsor, number 2309. Sarah led the design of InterpretReflect, the career operating system for sign language interpreters running on the HuVia Engine. She sets HuVia’s strategic and commercial direction and is the primary voice on partnerships, agency relationships, and regulatory strategy.

Maddox Wheeler

CTO & Co-Founder

Maddox grew up in high-performance environments through top-level competitive soccer, where small gains in decision-making and execution determine outcomes. After graduating high school, he dedicated himself to learning AI and software, studying modern AI architectures, coding, and infrastructure, and he is now taking university courses toward an AI engineering degree. At HuVia, he builds and evolves the infrastructure behind the cognitive measurement engine, including data pipelines, model training environments, and the governance framework that keeps every AI component within defined autonomy boundaries. He treats the reliability of AI systems under load as a performance problem that must be engineered, not improvised.

Posture

Practitioner-researcher, not vendor.

HuVia operates from a practitioner-researcher posture: field-credible first, commercial second. This is a structural commitment, not a tagline. Every product decision is tested against a simple question: would someone doing this work recognize it as useful, or would it feel like it was built from outside the field?

The HuVia Engine is grounded in data from real high-stakes roles, modeled against cognitive load and performance research, and refined through direct feedback from the people whose work it measures.

Structure
