Know the Android Team

We are Androiders! We love to work with every Android project, starting from scratch or getting into a million-users project; running on phones, tablets, watches, TVs, cars, or even in the shower (why not?). Our team comes from different backgrounds, Java, Kotlin-first, web, cross-platform technologies, and that's the beauty of it: you can get a really wide perspective about any Android related topic. We gather to talk and study new technologies and how/where we can apply them on our projects, always having a cup of coffee, tea, or water (stay hydrated!). There is no one-stack-to-rule-them-all, in the same year you might work with different architectures and technologies. If we could summarize our goal, it would be projects. At the end of the day, the Android team strives to build pixel perfect, user-centered, performant, clean coded apps, one line of code at a time.
