Top SchoolJonathan Locke is a founder and principal software engineer with over 30 years’ experience specializing in software reusability, JVM languages (notably Kotlin and Java), and both object-oriented and functional design. He created influential open-source projects including Apache Wicket and the original Apache Regexp for Java, and has a long track record building reusable frameworks and distributed systems used in production.
