## About

Balkrishna Rawool leads engineering teams at ING Bank. He focuses on modern Java components, building APIs that are difficult to misuse.

His talks break down the practical applications of Project Amber. He regularly live-codes solutions, showing developers how to combine algebraic data types, sealed types, and pattern matching to write cleaner backend systems.

When he logs off, he plays chess. He treats software architecture a lot like the board, relying on foresight and analytical thinking to solve complex problems.
