Kamalmeet Singh got his first taste of programming at the age of 15, and he immediately fell in love with it.

After spending over 13 years in the IT industry and working in different companies, countries, and domains, Kamal has matured into an ace developer and a technical architect. The technologies he works with include cloud computing, machine learning, augmented reality, serverless applications, microservices, and more, but his first love is still Java.
