Big in Japan’s Alexander Muse to Present Keynote Address at AndroidDevCamp Amsterdam

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alexander Muse, co-founder of Big in Japan, the developer of the breakaway hit Android application ShopSavvy, will present the keynote address at AndroidDevCamp Amsterdam on January 8. The day-long event will be held at Pakhuis de Zwijger in the Netherlands’ capital city.
