Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarmi Grushko is a software engineer with 13 years of experience building developer tooling and mobile infrastructure, currently at Meta after a long tenure on Bazel at Google. He brings deep expertise in build systems, Kotlin tooling and Android internals—contributing to high-profile open-source projects like React Native, Litho, Fresco, ktfmt and Bazel. Carmi’s work spans mobile and backend automation, from integrating React Native’s new architecture and optimizing Litho memory usage to enabling parallel formatting in ktfmt and improving proto handling in Bazel. He combines hands-on engineering with a systems mindset, often focusing on build/process improvements and performance optimizations that benefit large codebases. Based in Israel with an academic background from the Technion (BSc/MSc), he pairs strong research foundations with practical contributions to widely used developer platforms. A less obvious strength is his knack for subtle tooling changes—like refining formatter behavior and debug overlays—that materially improve developer productivity at scale.
