roles:
- id: bazel-configurability
image: jobs/google/bazel.png
name: Software Engineer # III
team: Bazel Configurability
company: Google
startDate: 2016-07-15 # vague guess - this was around when I would have
# started getting to work on reviewing configurability
# changes and getting up to speed on this team
endDate: 2019-10-04 # dead on, this was my last day at Google
shortDescription: >
Optimizations and flexibility for multiplatform builds for Bazel projects.
description: >
Primary expert and contact point for _configuration trimming_, a major
overhaul of the internals of Bazel's multiplatform support which saves
build time, build artifact disk space and build graph memory by collapsing
redundant nodes together (e.g., deduplicating Java binaries which only
differ by the Python version they're built for).
achievements:
- id: feature-flags
description: >
Designed and built a feature flag system for Bazel which allows
Android developers to toggle build dependencies without needing to
create parallel trees. Used by ~50 Android teams within Google, with
more asking to have the feature enabled weekly.
- id: whitelisting
description: >
Designed and built a mechanism for controlling rollouts of Bazel
features based on build package for use with feature flags, which
was quickly adopted by other subteams within Bazel.
- id: attribute-refactor
description: >
Refactored Bazel's attribute support, prompting a code owner to
describe the result as "so much better it hurts."
- id: test-trimming
description: >
Sped up developer build/test switching, saving 2min+ reanalysis on
each switch, adding up to an hour or more of wait time saved per
engineer over a day's builds.
- id: tagged-trimming
description: >
Implemented, built a fully automated migration tool for and consulted
with users to roll out manual trimming to get Android developers
reduced memory use immediately, saving multiple gigabytes of memory
per build and preventing OOM conditions for larger builds.
- id: auto-trimming
description: >
Researched options for automatic trimming, wrote over 60 pages of
design documents proving the viability of trimming and the tradeoffs
of different options, built a TypeScript/Angular2-based prototype
to gather data on builds and eventually integrated a prototype into
Bazel.
- id: bazel-u
description: >
Ran multiple talks for the Bazel team about trimming and feature
flags, consulted across Bazel and with other teams on the viability of
trimming techniques for different use cases, and received a peer bonus
for my expertise.
- id: trimming-metaphors
description: >
Wrote a document explaining the complex concepts, techniques, and
history of trimming in an easy-to-read manner and received a peer
bonus describing it as "one of the best docs I've read at Google."
- id: bazelcon
description: >
Solicited experts for office hours for BazelCon 2018 and managed rooms
and experts day-of, allowing the show to go on despite last-minute
loss of our planned venue and receiving a peer bonus from the head
organizer.
- id: personal-postmortem
description: >
Wrote, gave a talk on, and received a peer bonus for a document
speaking frankly about emotional safety on the team.
- id: team-culture
description: >
Proposed improvements to team culture, ran meetings on the subject,
consulted with management and gathered feedback fro team members.
- id: kotlin
description: >
Consulted with Kotlin team at Google about the possibility of using
Kotlin within Bazel.
