During February 2026, contributed to the openrewrite/rewrite repository by addressing a critical issue in Gradle dependency management. Focused on preventing duplication of dependencies in applied Gradle scripts, the work involved updating the AddDependency logic and refining the IsBuildGradle matcher to target only specific build files. This approach ensured that dependencies were not inadvertently injected into applied scripts, thereby reducing build noise and improving CI stability. Regression tests were added to maintain reliability and prevent future regressions. The solution leveraged Java, Gradle, and unit testing, resulting in more consistent and robust Gradle script handling across the project’s codebase.
