About

Last Update: July 6, 2024

I’m Aman Mittal, a documentation and developer. I love to explore and write about different technologies. My journey in the tech world started as a consultant and a Developer Advocate and has evolved through various roles in content development and technical writing.

When I’m not immersed in code or crafting documentation, you’ll find me either reading a book or exploring new places.
