Top SchoolThiago Cruz is a Senior Software Engineer based in São Paulo with 13+ years focused on iOS development and surrounding DevEx—CI/CD, Bazel migrations, and IDE/build performance at scale. At Block he played a key role migrating an iOS monorepo to Bazel and adopting rules_xcodeproj to bridge Xcode with modern builds, bringing pragmatic engineering to large-scale build systems. He’s delivered significant app-level improvements earlier in his career—optimizing long-running background tasks, establishing core frameworks, and automating CI and release workflows. An active contributor to the CocoaPods xcodeproj project, he extended scheme actions and execution hooks to make build integrations more extensible. Known for empathetic communication and thoughtful problem-solving, Thiago blends deep technical craft with a knack for automating developer workflows that reduce friction across teams.
