# Gradle tips and tricks to improve your Android build experience

Sean Weiser

April 22, 2023

## About the talk

Do your Android builds take forever to complete? Or even if they don't, do you wonder if you could speed them up just a little bit? This talk will go through my experiences attempting to improve the build times of some of our company's apps and saving everyone time. We'll discuss Gradle techniques that can hopefully cut those build times down by minutes.
