Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFredia Huya-kouadio is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building Android, VR/XR, and AR experiences, currently developing the HorizonOS XR App at Meta and maintaining Godot’s Android and OpenXR tooling. She combines deep mobile engineering expertise—leading YouTube VR on multiple headset platforms and architecting DroneKit-Android and 3DR apps—with open source contributions to high-profile projects like Godot and the MAVLink communication library. Her work spans engine-level Android runtime integrations, editor tooling (including the Godot Android Editor and XR Editor), and performance-minded back-end code generation optimizations. Based in Reno, NV, she brings a pragmatic focus on memory and precision improvements (e.g., static-variable optimizations in MAVLink’s Java generator) alongside UX-driven Android UI and video-streaming features for drone and VR apps. Fredia’s blend of platform maintainer responsibilities and hands-on feature delivery makes her a rare engineer who moves seamlessly between low-level systems, developer docs, and polished user experiences.
