About Kris L.
I love software development. I manage teams that make amazing tools and automation to enable developers to deliver high quality code at high velocity. Here are some quick highlights for my work.1) I’ve delivered assisted automation tooling for migrating Java applications from JDK8/11 to JDK17/21. These tools saved tens of thousands of developer years and resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure cost savings. These automation tools leverage powerful code transformation tools and LLMs to migrate complex libraries and applications. Continuing to expand this technology to more use cases.2) I’ve managed build tools, package managers, and third-party software for 85K developers. I love the challenge of enabling developers to build complex polyglot applications quickly and at-scale. Attention to detail is important when saving seconds on a build task can save thousands of developer hours and millions of dollars.3) I’ve planned, delivered, and launched a public web service that delivered cutting edge search that mixes traditional search with Machine Learning to find direct answers and the best results for enterprises. It was amazing to simplify the user experience of this product by reducing the complexity of ingestion, tokenizing, and indexing documents for fast, efficient searching.
