Java Gradle

Handles Gradle build configuration with a strong bias toward Kotlin DSL, which is the right default for modern Java projects. Covers the essentials: dependency catalogs, build cache setup, task configuration, and performance tuning like parallel builds and incremental compilation. The version catalog example is especially useful since that's how you should be managing dependencies in 2024 but many projects still haven't migrated. Bonded to a Java build tools agent as a secondary skill, so it works alongside broader build concerns. If you're still writing Groovy DSL, it technically supports that too, but the examples and guidance clearly push you toward Kotlin.
