Aurimas is a software engineer at Google working on AndroidX libraries. The need to write efficient code has been instilled in him through his work on Chrome for Android, and later Android OS itself. This drive continued when taking on the build and test infrastructure for AndroidX – one of the largest set of open source libraries built using Gradle. Aurimas enjoys doing talks, blog posts, and generally pushing the Gradle ecosystem forward.

Gradle: The Build System That Loves To Hate You
Come to hear a talk about dozens of foot guns in Gradle that can make you tear your hair out as you try to "just make it work", presented by someone who has stepped on most of the rakes. For example, did you know every call in groovy is using reflection?!
Along with the issues you will also learn about way to avoid it or at least minimize your risk of misery. After the talk you should have more confidence as you venture into the land of Gradle build.
