Alex Eagle is a veteran software leader and founder with 17 years of experience building developer tooling and large-scale systems, currently co-founding and leading Aspect to simplify Bazel adoption for multi-language monorepos. Previously he spent 12 years at Google where he worked on compiler, build, and developer-experience tooling, and most recently led Developer Experience at Robinhood. Alex is a hands-on engineer who contributes widely to open source—his work touches prominent projects like Angular, TypeScript, Closure Compiler, and many Bazel rule repos—bridging compiler internals, build systems, and front-end frameworks. He combines product instincts with deep build- and CI/CD expertise, automating documentation and release workflows across languages and platforms. Based in California and Harvard-educated in CS, he quietly favors improving developer productivity through infrastructure and tooling rather than flashy user-facing features.
