Conclusion

I had a great learning experience working with Amahi. I would like to thank Carlos Puchol (@cpg) for giving me this wonderful opportunity and guiding me throughout the journey. I would also like to thank my mentors Richard Glass (@richard-h-glass), and special thanks to Sanjit (@sanjitchak) and Chirag (@csoni111) for all the guidance and suggestions whenever I was stuck.

I have learned a lot during this journey, working with large codebase, writing better quality code and working with libraries like Event Bus, Retrofit, Room database and many others. The whole experience made me a better software developer and it will help me throughout my career. A big thanks to Google for this amazing program that can really do wonders in the career growth of young developers. Cheers!
