• Build and extend the JNI integration layer connecting Android app logic to our C++20 native libraries, ensuring clean API boundaries, safe memory management, and correct threading semantics across the language boundary.

• Collaborate with CV/ML researchers and C++ engineers to expose new algorithms and pipeline outputs to the Android layer, including debug visualizations and parameter tuning interfaces.

• Design and implement IPC interfaces between the new Android application and the existing app ecosystem, ensuring reliable and efficient data exchange across process boundaries.
