https://blog.google/products/pixel/pixel-drop-december-2024/  (Gboard)
https://blog.google/products/pixel/pixel-10-personalization-features/ (Daily Hub)

Android Platform + Services + Gateway Servers.

- Pixel Camera team: Android OS internals (native / c++ framework), Camera Framework, Camera Hal (C++, Java, Kotlin), Camera pipelines

We launched connected cameras, which lets you connect and stream cameras like GoPro to apps on Pixel, without the apps having to change! So it works directly with any existing camera experiences in apps like YouTube, Instagram. We re-engineered a lot of the camera pipelines on Android + Pixel HAL for this.

- Previously, Computer Vision Libraries (Heavy Python, C++, OpenCV). I created E2E libraries for UI automation using computer vision, something which ended up being very useful for a lot of teams.

- Lots of popular tooling work on the side (Angular, Typescript)

- Play Store Commerce Stack (Android + Billing libraries + Gateway Servers) - full stack.
I worked on the commerce stack for Play Store, working E2E from billing libraries in apps, to working on the play store across watch and phone, to the backend servers.
