Kodlee Yin is a Seattle-based software engineer with 11 years of experience building consumer and infrastructure software, currently shaping safe in-car experiences on Google's Android Automotive team. A University of Washington Informatics grad, he blends full‑stack web skills from running Fru1tStudios with deep Android expertise demonstrated by significant contributions to AndroidX and AOSP support libraries (notably NotificationCompat, MessagingStyle fixes, and new vehicle-dimension APIs). He favors open source as a learning and teaching tool—publishing his work so others can adapt it—and has a track record of shipping robust, backwards-compatible features and test-suite improvements. Comfortable across front-end, back-end, and embedded/mobile stacks, he also brings hands-on server ops, multimedia production, and data-visualization experience from prior roles and internships.
