About me

My programming journey began at the age of ten with a childhood dream of creating my own video games. Since then, programming has not just been my job but a lifelong passion that has led me to work as a consultant for a variety of clients, from the healthcare industry to government projects and startups. For me, the real reward is the end result: delivering projects that improve lives and solve real problems.

My key strength is my ability to carry out complete projects end-to-end. From initial planning and design through implementation, deployment, and monitoring — I have done it all. If you're looking for a developer who's all about creating solid, functional, and useful software, let's connect and make it happen.

The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. [...] The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be.

Software Developer @ Buutti, Helsinki

3/2020 - 11/2023

At Buutti, my primary responsibility was to work as a software developer consultant on various customer projects, where I was involved in the full lifecycle of software development. The main focus was on implementing features requested by the customer, but often extended to designing features, user interfaces, and software architecture. Beyond my core role, I also served as a technical interviewer and as a team lead for other consultants, providing guidance and support to my colleagues.

Software Engineer @ Sievo, Helsinki

1/2017 - 12/2019

During my time at Sievo, I worked as a part of a small software engineering team involved in research and development of tools based on artificial intelligence. Our primary focus was on innovating with machine learning and natural language processing to improve manual, labor-intensive workflows. In addition to building new algorithms and AI models, I played a significant part in creating a completely new AI-based product from first prototypes to deployment, monitoring and maintenance. My responsibility extended over its entire lifecycle, listening to user feedback and iteratively improving its effectiveness.
