Interpreter Mode (IM): A google assistant feature where users can converse with another individual from a different language via live translations. https://blog.google/products/assistant/interpreter-mode-brings-real-time-translation-your-phone/
• Designed and developed landscape mode for Interpreter Mode, which included decisions on trade‐offs, design decisions for different surfaces, and flag guarding.
• Led the launch and organized bug bashes for landscape mode.
• Collaborated with team members to design possible feature ideas for Interpreter Mode using LLMs.
Dual Screen Interpreter Mode: A revamped Interpreter mode experience on the Pixel Fold, which takes advantage of the concurrent triple screen setup to provide streamlined live translations between individuals. https://blog.google/products/pixel/feature-drop-fall-2023/
• Designed, developed and successfully launched the Dual Screen Interpreter Mode for the Pixel Fold.
• Led the design and launch of the inner screen for Dual Screen Interpreter Mode.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams across different time-zones.
• Helped brainstorm and consult on the marketing demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veN7yMLhYVs&ab_channel=MadebyGoogle
• Awarded a patent.
Interpreter Mode Platform Migration: A major platform update for Interpreter Mode to improve quality.
• Led the design and development of a complex internal service end-to-end in order to decouple the handling of assistant query intents from language resolution.
• Helped teammates ramp up on the new service through design docs and meetings.
• Collaborated with different teams to sync development and launch timelines.
• Investigated and analyzed large scale data to find the root causes of approximately 18% missing migration traffic.
