Android fundamentals: Lifecycle, Navigation, background work (WorkManager), permissions, deep links, notifications. Data layer: Room and DataStore; caching strategies; offline/poor-network handling.

Testing & quality: Unit tests for reducers/use-cases, ViewModel tests, some UI tests; CI-friendly builds; lint/static analysis usage. Debugging & performance: Profiling, crash/ANR triage, memory/leak awareness, performance tuning in Compose. Delivery practices: Git workflow, code reviews, refactoring, clear documentation/ADRs when introducing architectural changes.
