Summary
Boris Farber is a Senior Developer Relations Engineer at Google with 11 years of experience helping apps and games teams optimize Android performance, Gradle builds, Vitals, and Jetpack adoption. He combines hands-on engineering (from mobile graphics and firmware to a Google Drive–like Android client) with developer advocacy, creating tooling and libraries and authoring architectural documentation. At Google he led Android early-access programs and built ClassyShark, an Android analysis tool adopted by thousands of developers, while triaging high-impact escalations for partners. Based in Tel Aviv, he blends deep platform expertise with product-minded communication—backed by a CS master’s and an MBA in marketing—making technical solutions usable and broadly adopted. An unobvious strength is his long trajectory across device, client, and developer ecosystems, which gives him rare visibility into both low-level system constraints and large-scale developer workflows.
