PROFILE
William Sanville
Wes Sanville worked on optimizing DEX distribution and improving build reliability in the facebook/buck2-prelude repository over a two-month period. He engineered enhancements to how primary DEX classes are distributed across multiple base DEX files, refactored library subdivision logic, and introduced bootstrap DEX handling to streamline APK size management and deployment efficiency. Using Starlark and Python, Wes also enabled bootstrap dexes for instrumentation tests by propagating configuration through build rules and exposing new attributes for test APKs. His work demonstrated depth in Android development, build system configuration, and DEX optimization, addressing complex build performance and reliability challenges in large-scale Android projects.

Jan 1, 2025In Jan 2025, delivered a feature for facebook/buck2-prelude to enable bootstrap dexes for instrumentation tests. This enables passing enable_bootstrap_dexes to multidex calls originating from instrumentation tests, propagates through android_instrumentation_apk_impl, and exposes as a configurable attribute in android_rules.bzl for the android_instrumentation_apk rule. The change is completed with commit 30daa2239d4f2430c41a1e30020e34b891f89237, 'Allow enable_bootstrap_dexes for instrumentation tests'.
