Profile: https://flows.cv/robertq

I am a software engineer passionate about software quality and efficiency. I was an undergrad at UC Berkeley, with a B.A. in Computer Science. My academic interests are in computer architecture and signal processing. In my free time I enjoy making and sharing memes, and building software to aid in those endeavors.

Developer Experience Team

Worked on several projects to improve developer workflows for thousands of internal developers working on C++ and Python.

- Improved runtime of an internal C++ build tool written in Python by up to 100x by optimizing filesystem traversal algorithm.
- Unblocked C++ data race detection tool rollout (TSAN) by classifying and fixing regressions.
- Unblocked and rolled out upgrade to C++ testing libraries by fixing regressions with large-scale refactors.
- Built alert system to warn developers before experiencing runtime and size limits in C++ CI. Greatly reduced support burden for solving these issues.
- Unblocked migration of C++/Python developers to new continuous delivery system by implementing hotfix deployment.
- Fixed bug in CI system to properly block deployment on certain broken tests. Reduced support burden for this issue.
- Built tool to enable detection and mitigation of developer experience issues across company codebase. This tool was used to unblock the rollout of a new build system to C++/Python codebase which improved build speeds by 2x.
- Improved runtime of critical-path Python CI tool by 2x (30s->15s) which reduced CI costs and improved time-to-signal.
- Unblocked and migrated Android build CI to new, unified system. Enabled code re-use with existing mobile CI.
- Performed duties as C++/Python build/CI on-call engineer for several weeks.
