Find Hub — formerly Android's Find My Device — is Google's platform for locating people, phones, and Bluetooth-enabled tags and accessories across the Android ecosystem. I led the product as Group Product Manager, overseeing a cross-functional org of ~80 engineers, 6 designers, and partners across marketing, PR, and legal.
At the heart of Find Hub is a crowdsourced Bluetooth network spanning over a billion Android devices. When a lost item's tracker broadcasts a Bluetooth signal, nearby Android phones detect it and securely relay its location back — all end-to-end encrypted and anonymous. The result is a global, always-on detection grid that dramatically reduces how long it takes to find a missing device or accessory.
When I took over the product, average device find times were around 25 minutes. Through Bluetooth network optimizations and improvements to signal processing, we brought that down to ~5 minutes — a 5x improvement that meaningfully changes how useful the product is in a real-world "lost item" moment.
People Location SharingBeyond tracking devices and accessories, Find Hub enables real-time location sharing between people — allowing families, friends, and caregivers to stay connected. I led the launch of People Location Sharing, which grew to tens of millions of active users and has become one of the platform's primary engagement drivers. The experience is built around consent-first flows, clear sharing indicators, and easy controls so users always know who can see their location and can turn it off instantly.
Tracker EcosystemWhen I started building out the tracker side of the platform, there were essentially zero third-party Android-compatible tags in the market. We defined the spec, built the partnerships, and grew the ecosystem from scratch to over 6 million tracked tags from brands including Chipolo, Pebblebee, and Motorola. UWB (Ultra-Wideband) support was added for precision finding — guiding users to within inches of a lost item — and airline baggage recovery partnerships enable lost luggage tracking directly from the app.
Find Hub is now Android's full answer to Apple's Find My — a multi-billion-device platform for locating what matters.
Privacy & Anti-StalkingScale without safety isn't a success. As Bluetooth trackers proliferated, so did the potential for misuse. I partnered directly with Apple to co-develop and ship Unwanted Tracking Alerts — an industry-first cross-platform standard that detects when an unknown tracker is traveling with you and notifies you regardless of whether you're on Android or iOS. This work set a global standard and helped establish both Google and Apple as responsible stewards of the tracking ecosystem.
Find Hub also ships with automatic alert suppression for known devices (so you don't get notified about your own keys), precision finding for locating hidden trackers, and a global tracker scanning mode so anyone can check for unknown devices around them — even without the app installed.
Satellite & Advanced FeaturesFind Hub has expanded beyond the phone to include Pixel Watch integration and satellite-based location sharing via Pixel phones — enabling location sharing in areas with no cellular coverage. Emergency SOS flows on Pixel devices connect to the Find Hub infrastructure to deliver location to first responders even off-grid.
