What I do

01

Data & AI from lab to production

Instead of just proof-of-concepts, I build solutions that actually work in the real world. I handle data pipelines, integrate models into APIs, and ensure the whole system is monitored and results are measurable.

02

Robust backends & seamless integrations

Modern and secure backend solutions (FastAPI/Node.js) along with smooth integrations from payment processing to external APIs (GraphQL/REST). The groundwork is done right from the start, ensuring the architecture remains resilient as you scale.

03

Quality, speed, and automatic scalability

When user numbers grow, the system must hold up. I drive performance optimization, improve software testability, and build precise observability so that costs stay under control and code remains high-quality.

04

Fractional CTO — Leadership expertise on demand

Does your team need technical direction and decision-making capability? I serve as your outsourced technology leader: taking ownership of architecture and driving development forward without the commitment of hiring a full-time executive.

How I work

01

Smart start

A quick situation assessment. Direct problem-solving without the bureaucratic overhead.

02

Continuous delivery

No black boxes. I ship working code frequently so you see concrete results right away.

03

Quality from day one

Performance, testing, and monitoring are part of ongoing development. A solid foundation is built from the start.

04

No vendor lock-in

The code is yours. Continuous documentation and active knowledge transfer ensure you stay in control.

Track record

Cactos Oy

Backend Developer · 10/2025–2/2026

Challenge

Automating revenue calculation and invoicing for battery energy storage systems from complex external data (eSett).

Solution

Built a robust Python data pipeline, developed Finvoice 3.0 invoice automation, and implemented required extensions to the customer portal.

Impact

Minimized manual overhead and provided real-time transparency through automated revenue reporting.

Veikkaus Oy

Software Developer · 5/2025–10/2025

Challenge

Instead of individual UI elements, the goal was to create a unified, site-wide recommendation experience. My task was to ensure API performance and production readiness.

Solution

Improved model and FastAPI endpoint speed through caching (Redis) and logic optimizations. Introduced automatic type checking and improved testing practices for code quality. Also built comprehensive monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana) and configured infrastructure to auto-scale with load (GCP, Kubernetes).

Impact

A unified customer experience with significantly faster response times. A more stable codebase and reliably scaling production infrastructure.

Phaver Oy

CTO & Co-founder · 2019–2024

Challenge

Building the technology for an international social media app from scratch into a scalable platform and assembling the development team.

Solution

Served as a hands-on technology leader. Managed recruitment, architecture, and best practices, while also coding numerous features in a full-stack TypeScript environment.

Impact

The technical implementation proved its worth under heavy pressure: the platform scaled to 800,000 users. Also assembled and led a 9-person multinational development team.

Veikkaus Oy

Lead Developer · 2014–2020

Challenge

The machine learning team needed a scalable recommendation system and a data platform (feature store) enabling reliable model training on historical data.

Solution

Designed and built an Apache Airflow & BigQuery-based architecture. Successfully deployed a contextual bandit recommendation model to production and managed its performance.

Impact

A reliable and scalable system that remains in wide production use years later.
