Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTony Robalik is a Build & DX engineer with over a decade of experience optimizing build systems and developer experience for large JVM and Android codebases. He has designed and shipped Gradle tooling and plugins that power mega-repos—projects spanning thousands of modules and millions of lines of Kotlin/Java—saving teams millions in recurring costs. A frequent conference speaker, blogger, and Gradle Fellow, Tony combines deep build-system expertise with pragmatic engineering: he moves from architecture to a working plugin or task fast, turning ideas into measurable savings. He’s helped organizations from startups to major Silicon Valley teams scale builds for hundreds of engineers and led initiatives that made previously infeasible monorepos practical. Based in Seattle, he runs Faster Builds, LLC to bring world-class build and DX practices to teams that can’t hire a full-time specialist. Unusually for a tooling expert, his background in urban planning and mediation surfaces in his methodical, systems-level approach to complex, multi-stakeholder problems.
