Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRodrigo De Oliveira is a Senior Principal Software Engineer with 23 years of experience, currently leading the Gradle Configuration Team and driving robustness in build automation through deep backend and test-automation work on the widely used gradle/gradle project. A language and tooling expert, he authored the Boo and UnityScript languages and has a history of building compilers, transpilers and Gradle plugins that bridged ecosystems (including .NET to ActionScript tooling for Flash). He combines extreme programming and TDD practices with hands-on engineering, having introduced test automation and modular build tooling in large teams. Based in São Paulo, he pairs low-level compiler/compiler-plugin insight with pragmatic systems design, and away from the keyboard he plays drums — a hint at his rhythmic, disciplined approach to engineering.
