Software Engineering Intern - Wear Companion SDK Team
June 2024 - September 2024
Integrated new functionality to solve essential UX problems for the Wear Companion App, the phone app that manages WearOS smartwatches
Wrote a thoroughly-researched design document that identifies core problems not initially covered in my intern project proposal, evaluates relevant existing technologies, and suggests multiple solutions and their implementations
Hosted a design meeting with the Companion SDK team to discuss and decide upon the best engineering solutions
Programmed Kotlin code that calls external APIs asynchronously and follows Android design best-practices
Collaborated closely with engineers from teams with no prior connection to Wear to use and improve APIs
Contributed Java backend code for Google Play Services (GMS); created a responsive Jetpack Compose frontend
Presented a live demo to 50+ people from the Wear team; convinced Wear to continue developing these features
