I'm a staff software engineer at Google. I've been a core Bazel developer since 2010.

I tech lead Bazel's configurability effort. We're a 5-person team that focuses on multi-platform builds, user-definable project flags, analyzing build graphs, and various performance improvements these features imply.

Our users include Lyft, SpaceX, Nvidia, Stripe, and of course Google. Major language build rules also use configurability features, like Apple, Android, Java, Python, and Go

I wrote this summary in 2019 and contributed to this post announcing the Pigweed SDK's Bazel support and Raspberry Pi collaboration.

I believe Bazel remains a clear leader in a new generation of build tools and there remains much opportunity to unlock more capabilities that can qualitatively improve software engineering.

I gave a highly regarded talk on the history of 111 Eighth Ave in 2016 based on extensive primary research.
