Hi, I was enrolled to do my PhD in HCI and dropped out to stay at Facebook in 2009. It's a super valuable skillset to have.
My intiail advice would be to get a job as a UX researcher or prototyper (Google has these roles for HCI grads for example) and develop some of the programming skills on the job or while doing the job and then try to switch.
If you want to do more training then I would zoom in on:
\- what school did you get your masters from?
\- how much CS experience do you have in school?
\- do you have any other work experience?
\- did you have any internships?
\- what kind of company are you aiming for?
And then that would help narrow down ideas.
