Architecting the Invisible: Building Privacy-First Mobile SDKs for Billion+ Users
Conference - Short (INTERMEDIATE level)
Mobile SDKs power billions of experiences—from payments to AI—yet remain the most invisible and underestimated layer of the mobile ecosystem. When done right, they're silent. When done wrong, they become everyone's problem.
This session reveals the engineering principles behind privacy-first, performant, and developer-friendly SDKs that scale globally. Drawing from 12+ years building mobile infrastructure at LinkedIn, Google Firebase, and Snap—including SDKs processing 200+ billion events daily—I'll share battle-tested lessons on:
Privacy by Design – Embedding compliance (GDPR, ATT, Privacy Sandbox) at the architectural level, not as an afterthought
Scaling Without Breaking – Optimizing for billions of users across fragmented devices, networks, and regulatory environments
Developer Experience as Product – Building SDKs that developers choose to integrate, not just tolerate
Modularity & Maintainability – Architecting systems that evolve without collapsing under technical debt
You'll walk away with practical patterns for building scalable SDK architecture, strategies for balancing performance, security, and ease of integration, and a framework for evaluating and improving SDK design. Whether you build infrastructure or rely on it, this session unveils how thoughtful SDK design doesn't just enable mobile apps—it quietly defines their future.

Ramanpreet Singh Khinda is a Staff Software Engineer at LinkedIn and an IEEE Senior Member — a distinction awarded to fewer than 10% of 450,000+ members globally. He serves on the IEEE VTS Technical Committee for Integrated Sensing and Mobile Intelligence, contributing to industry standards for next-generation mobile AI and 6G edge computing.
At LinkedIn, Raman leads the architecture and development of next-generation, privacy-first mobile infrastructure for 1 billion members that empowers developers and advertisers to build responsibly in an evolving regulatory landscape. His work navigates complex regulatory requirements including Apple ATT, Google Privacy Sandbox, GDPR, and DMA while supporting LinkedIn's advertising infrastructure.
Previously, as Android Stack Lead at Google (Firebase), he led development of the Performance Monitoring SDK serving 3+ million developers and processing 200+ billion events daily across 100,000+ applications. His solutions are documented in Firebase's official publications and adopted industry-wide. He authored the Google I/O 2021 Codelab on Android rendering performance.
At Snap Inc., Raman led a 15-member team as Android Stack Lead for Snap Kit, redesigning the SDK architecture for 300+ million daily active users, and spearheading React Native plugin development. Earlier, he contributed to peer-to-peer mesh networking at Open Garden and developed multimedia applications for Samsung flagship devices (Galaxy S3–S5, Note 3–4) at Samsung Research in India and South Korea.
Raman's publications include work in the ACM Digital Library and technical contributions to ACM MobiCom 2017. He is a Strategic Technical Advisor for Startup Grind NYC (5M+ member startup community), a Distinguished Judge for industry hackathons alongside technical staff from Anthropic and Pinterest, and judges/mentors Major League Hacking events at Cornell, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, University of Washington, etc.
