About me
Cal was new to build systems and C++ when he joined Bloomberg Engineering’s Foundations, Build and Intelligence / Distributed Build team. Navigating what he calls the ‘slope of enlightenment and the valley of despair,’ Cal learned to ask questions about everything, and then ask more! Finding documentation unclear, he rewrote it. When he found a hole in the build process, he decided to fill it. The result is an open source project called BuildGrid, which executes build jobs remotely on a grid of computers, speeding up build times massively.
