During May 2025, Michael Bland modernized the Bazel build system for the EngFlow/example repository, focusing on upgrading rules_scala to version 7.0.0 and migrating dependency management to the Bazel Central Registry using Bzlmod. He removed custom extensions and patches in favor of standard Bazel tooling, streamlining the build configuration and enabling protobuf toolchain resolution as well as C++17 support for remote builds. Michael ensured compatibility with Scala 2.13.16 under the new system and updated project documentation to reflect these changes. His work demonstrated strong skills in Bazel, build system configuration, and Starlark, delivering a robust, maintainable build process.
