Rijo Sam

I am a Senior Java Developer and Public Speaker. Currently, I work as a Java Chapter Lead at ABN AMRO Bank in the Netherlands. I have extensive experience in developing applications within the payments and credits sector of the banking domain.

Originally from India, I'm now settled in the Netherlands. I enjoy Java, cycling, and burgers. So if any of those interest you, feel free to connect with me!
