about me
Hola ! my name is Sukhvinder Singh. Since last 15 years I am working in the field of Computer Science. Currently I am associated with Infosys UK Limited working as a Senior Technology Architect in London. I am specialised in Cloud technologies, cloud migrations, trading platforms and low latency and high throughput applications. I am also AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate and Azure Certified.
I have an extensive experience working in financial domain ( electronic trading, forex, payments, risk etc ). Sometimes over the weekend I work on Robotics, create some robots to satisfy my soul, which also gives me feeling of relaxation. I like photography, reading, listen to music and also watch lots of movies ( really lots ).
I also enjoy traveling, so far I visited many countries. Though I want to cover some continents by road. Though not sure, when I am going to have a chance, lets wait the companies to migrate to cloud and adapt new technologies after that I might get some chance ..:)
I tried hard to pluck the right strings on guitar, now I am more inclined towards photography.
I believe to work on those projects, which require innovative ideas and creativity and are full of challenges.
