Aurimas Liutikas

Software Engineer at Google / Gradle Fellow

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.

The Benevolent Gradle Overlord: Keeping Order

In today's world the push is to do more with less. Sadly, the infrastructure is often the first area to be cut. Keeping a Gradle build in a good state can be labor intensive, so these cuts can be very painful for the entire organization. Join me on a journey about how to automate as much of the Gradle build maintenance as possible, so you can focus on projects that are not just "keeping the lights on". The experiences are drawn from my team's work on the AndroidX project as it continues to grow in the number of contributors.
