During November 2025, Blundell focused on modernizing the google/oboe repository by migrating the MainActivity from Data Binding to View Binding using Kotlin. This transition removed the need for DataBindingUtil and related dependencies, simplifying the Gradle build process and eliminating the root layout wrapper in activity_main.xml. By adopting View Binding, Blundell improved code maintainability and positioned the module for easier testing and future adoption of Kotlin Symbol Processing. The work aligned the project with current Android development best practices, reduced build complexity, and enhanced developer onboarding, demonstrating a solid understanding of Android UI architecture and build system optimization.
