Summary
Erica Cooksey is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in Android platform engineering, from shipping AOSP-based devices and modifying OS internals to building apps and native JNI components. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she has driven Android efforts at Meta (Portal TV/home screen lead), The Trade Desk (Ventura CTV OS), and multiple retail and device projects for Walmart, Amazon Lab126, and Sam’s Club. She’s known for bridging low-level system work with polished user-facing UI, having contributed to both XML and Jetpack Compose toolkits and notification integration. Erica’s early SDK and imaging work at Accusoft and barcode/PICTools experience give her a strong foundation in systems and performance-sensitive code. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, she frequently leads technical direction on embedded Android projects and mentors engineers on shipping production-quality software. An uncommon strength is her comfort editing the OS itself to enable product features rather than working around platform limits.
