Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
A structured roadmap that starts from zero and ends at the Play Store — covering architecture, testing, performance, and modern Android best practices.
Modern Android Stack
Kotlin 2.x + K2 compiler, Compose, Material 3, coroutines, Flow — the full stack top engineering teams actually ship.
Compose First
Declarative UI with state hoisting, compiler metrics for performance, custom layouts, gestures, and Compose Multiplatform.
Enterprise Architecture
MVVM, MVI state machines, Clean Architecture, offline-first with outbox, Hilt DI, modular 30+ module codebases.
Test-Driven Mindset
JUnit 5, MockK, Turbine, Compose Testing, Paparazzi snapshots, Macrobenchmark — confidence at every layer.
Production Performance
Baseline profiles, R8 full mode, configuration cache, startup tracing, LeakCanary — measured wins, not vibes.
Ship to Production
GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Play Console API, staged rollouts with auto-halt, SLO-based alerting.
Security & Compliance
OWASP MASVS, cert pinning, Play Integrity, encrypted storage, R8 obfuscation, GDPR/CCPA data inventory.
World-Class UX
Design tokens, TalkBack, WCAG 2.2 AA, i18n, RTL, foldables, Window Size Classes, motion design.
Career-Ready
Leveling from junior to principal, system design framework, 50+ interview questions, portfolio and negotiation guidance.
20 Training Modules · 5 Phases
Foundations → Data & Services → Quality & Performance → Enterprise Engineering → Career. Every module builds on the previous; enterprise phase separates senior from staff.

Android Fundamentals
Platform architecture, Activities, Intents, Fragments, ViewGroups, ConstraintLayout, resources.
Jetpack Compose
The definitive Compose deep dive — state, theming, lists, navigation, animations, forms, testing, interop, modifiers, performance, internals.
Architecture & Patterns
MVVM, MVI state machines, Clean Architecture, offline-first with outbox pattern, Hilt DI.
Data & Persistence
DataStore, Room, migrations, Content Providers, encrypted storage, caching strategies.
Networking & API
REST, GraphQL with Apollo, WebSocket, gRPC, Server-Sent Events — the full modern networking stack.
Firebase & Cloud

Advanced Components
Services, WorkManager, notification channels, permissions, CameraX, sensors, biometrics, Glance.
Testing & Quality
JUnit 5, MockK, Turbine, Espresso, Compose Testing, TDD, Kover, detekt, Konsist boundaries.
Performance
Memory profiling, LeakCanary, R8, baseline profiles, Macrobenchmark, startup optimization.
Publishing
Play Console, App Bundles, signing, in-app purchases, subscriptions, AdMob, ASO.
Advanced & Trending
Kotlin Multiplatform, Compose Multiplatform, ML Kit, Wear OS, Android TV, BLE/IoT, XR.
Version Control
Git fundamentals, branching strategies, pull requests, code reviews, conventional commits.
Gradle & Build Systems
Kotlin DSL, version catalogs, convention plugins, configuration cache, build scans — enterprise build infrastructure.
Modularization at Scale
30+ feature modules, API/impl separation, Konsist architectural tests, dynamic feature delivery.
Security & Compliance
OWASP MASVS, cert pinning, Keystore, Play Integrity, R8 tamper detection, GDPR/CCPA, Data Safety.
CI/CD & DevOps
GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Play Console API, staged rollouts with auto-halt, flaky test quarantine.
Observability
Crashlytics, Firebase Performance, custom traces, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, SLOs + alerting.
Enterprise UX
Design systems, tokens, TalkBack, WCAG 2.2, i18n, RTL, Window Size Classes, foldables, motion.
Career & Interview
Leveling (L3-Principal), system design framework, 50+ question bank, portfolio strategy, negotiation.
