Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLiban Odowa is a full‑stack software engineer with 10 years of experience building consumer-facing products at scale, currently shaping growth and onboarding for YouTube TV in San Francisco. He has driven end-to-end launches from alpha to multi-country rollouts, owning technical scoping, cross-functional coordination, and experimentation-driven improvements. Notably, he built robust on-device and mobile web purchase flows for YouTube Primetime Channels that materially increased conversions and were later reused across other YouTube monetization products. His background includes compiler-level work at Google—creating a Kotlin transition for iOS that involved modifying the Kotlin/Native toolchain—and broad API and middleware development for Google Cloud. Comfortable across front-end, backend, and infra-level challenges, he combines product-minded engineering with a track record of shipping extensible, reusable components.
