Experience

Google ⇒ Senior Software Engineer

Tech Lead, Flutter Tooling

Nov 2022 - Present

Flutter is Google's open source, cross-platform application framework allowing a single codebase to target Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and the web.

Flutter's CLI tool orchestrates Flutter app builds encompassing compilation across Dart for a developer's code along with Java/Kotlin, Objective-C/Swift, C++, or JavaScript for native code. This also includes debug-mode builds, involving stateful hot reload of Dart code just in time compiled and release builds ahead of time compiled to machine code.

I lead design review, crash & issue triage, and code review of both full time employees and open source contributors. Features I've built include:

Flutter Preview device, allowing developers to experience Flutter's stateful hot reload without requiring a native build toolchain
Font tree-shaking for the web, reducing the download size of icon fonts by removing code points not referenced from the app
Infrastructure for codesigning pre-compiled binaries that are distributed to end users
