PROFILE

Simon Stewart

Simon Stewart enhanced build reliability and dependency management across grpc/bazel-central-registry and JetBrains/rules_python by upgrading Bazel modules, refining build configurations, and expanding presubmit testing. He delivered upgrades to rules_jvm_external and rules_pkl, introducing broader artifact definitions and robust integration scaffolding to support Java, Kotlin, and Pkl language dependencies. Simon addressed cross-platform build issues, particularly for Python wheel packaging on macOS, by improving environment handling and library path resolution. His work, using Bazel, Python, and Go, improved CI validation, reduced integration risk, and strengthened governance, resulting in more reproducible builds and streamlined onboarding for teams relying on Bazel-based development workflows.
