Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChirag Ramani is a Staff Software Engineer in San Francisco with a decade of experience building high-impact developer infrastructure at the intersection of build systems, compilers, and linkers for large-scale iOS monorepos. At Uber he led initiatives that cut app download/install sizes by hundreds of megabytes, reduced CI and release times by up to 28%, and engineered an Xcode-alternative IDE stack to stabilize previews and debugging across 1,000+ modules. He’s an active open-source contributor (notably to Bazel, rules_apple/rules_swift and the Swift-based Piranha refactoring tool) and a global mentor who repeatedly orchestrates cross-team “code yellow” responses to slash debugging latency from minutes to seconds. Beyond engineering, Chirag applies systems thinking to personal health as a trained dietician, founder of a health nonprofit, and biohacker—bringing the same discipline to developer experience and developer productivity.
