Last fall, I wrote a pitch for our president of technology and said we should form a team that centralizes the knowledge for excellence in build engineering. Rooz: Awesome, and tell me about how you measure productivity and why you care about it in general or, is it someone from above that says “hey, we really need to focus on development.” Where does that all happen, because that’s why we’re here today, right-? We brought in a bunch of licenses for Gradle Enterprise which helped us to analyze the hotspots and make measurable improvements in our build times, which led to greater productivity for developers because they are not taking as much time to build their software. And I think we’ve changed that six months ago when the builds were getting out of hand. ![]() What brought me to Gradle was, I think for way too long our builds have languished and have not had proper maintenance and investment. So, I and my team specialize in the building the vertical for IOS and Android for all of our products. I switched into management for several years and led up to 45 people and about 6 months ago I switched back to an individual contributor role where, now, I am an architect working on the mobile build engineering team for Salesforce. When I started at Salesforce I was an entry-level developer working on Blackberry and later iPhone. I’ve been at Salesforce for 14 years now. ![]() Jason: Cool, thanks for having me today Rooz, my name is Jason and I work at Salesforce. Jason why don’t you introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your role and what you’ve been working on and I guess what brought you to us and how we met and all that. I work here at Gradle on the customer success team, and have been involved with Android for many years, and pleased to have our special guest here, Jason, from Salesforce. Rooz: Thank you all for joining, I’m Rooz. Thanks to everyone that attended the webinar and thanks for your questions!
