Building UI components for Android's modern toolkit at Google
Farheen M
Led UX design for Jetpack Compose, Android's modern UI toolkit, focusing on two key areas: Material components and sample applications.
Designed and specified 18 core UI components that helped developers build high-quality Android apps more efficiently.
Created a suite of five sample applications (Jetnews, Jetchat, Jetcaster, Jetsurvey, and Jetsnack) to demonstrate real-world implementation.
The sample apps became the most-cited resource for learning Compose, garnering over 3.6k stars on GitHub.
This work set new standards for Android development by providing both the building blocks and practical examples developers needed to adopt the platform successfully.
