Jiawei focused on stabilizing and optimizing build and runtime systems across several repositories, including facebook/litho, facebook/buck2-prelude, facebook/react-native, and facebook/igl. By reverting incompatible toolchain and configuration changes, Jiawei restored incremental build capabilities, improved build reliability, and re-enabled high-resolution performance timing. In facebook/igl, Jiawei addressed a Vulkan regression by reinstating the VkDevice parameter, ensuring correct image creation. The work involved disciplined change management, deep understanding of build systems, and expertise in C++, Kotlin, and Python. Jiawei’s contributions emphasized risk reduction, robust performance monitoring, and cross-repo consistency, demonstrating thorough debugging and a methodical approach to complex system maintenance.

October 2025: Focused on stabilizing Vulkan image creation in facebook/igl by restoring the VkDevice parameter to the Vulkan image constructors, addressing a regression introduced by its removal.

In May 2025, delivered restoration of high-resolution performance timing and PerformanceResourceTiming reporting for facebook/react-native by reverting four changes that removed or altered timing features. This work re-enabled PerformanceResourceTiming events and JSExecutor::performanceNow, restoring precise timing measurements across platforms and maintaining compatibility with profiling tools and dashboards. Commits reverted include: d45c0419aca95d5fda93c7ff917f21c8212f3886 (Revert D73922341: Report PerformanceResourceTiming events), 5489e18abc7ca4f71d8f651e65d77193b55f61cc (Revert D74892330: Use HighResTimeStamp), 65ef8fe6b8f436dcee0b8d2649fa0c2a1e363192 (Revert D72649815: Replace DOMHighResTimeStamp alias in ReactCommon with new abstractions), and cbfa2ecc9aabaf63d1e21e811e9f6bc5b0379250 (Revert D75006354: Remove JSExecutor::performanceNow()). This restores reliable timing telemetry, enables accurate performance dashboards, and reduces risk of timing-related regressions for developers and QA.

February 2025: Focused on stabilizing AAB-related build configuration in facebook/buck2-prelude by reverting a risky change to pass native libraries to AAB apk_genrule, ensuring reliable AAB processing and reducing build failures.

Month 2024-10: Focused on stability and performance across two repos by reverting incompatible toolchain changes and restoring incremental builds. In facebook/litho, rolled back the kotlin-compiler-embeddable changes to align with the standard kotlin-compiler, addressing artifact incompatibilities. In facebook/buck2-prelude, restored incremental build capability by reversing the restriction that limited builds to full_library, improving build speed and CI reliability. Overall, these changes reduced toolchain risk, accelerated iteration, and reinforced robust build workflows. Technologies demonstrated include Kotlin toolchain management, build-system internals, rollback discipline, and cross-repo collaboration.
