The Most Important Code in Your App Isn't Yours

You have 50 apps on your phone. Inside them run hundreds of invisible infrastructures (SDKs/Libraries) that processes payments, powers AI features, and handles your private data. Built by engineers you'll never meet, running on devices they'll never see.

I've spent 15 years building this invisible infrastructure at Google, Snap, and LinkedIn. In this talk, I'll reveal why the trust model many apps rely on is fragile.

Through a tale of two parallel-universe architectures, you'll see how one design decision made a feature bulletproof โ€” and how a different decision turned it into an attack surface.

You'll leave with three principles for building code that survives inside someone else's system โ€” applicable to SDKs, APIs, or any shared infrastructure.

No Android experience required. If you write code others depend on โ€” this is for you.
