01 /A short biography

Not a developer. An architect with opinions.

The author — Turku, 2026.SHOT ON 35MM

Five years deep, I’ve been the engineer in the room who asks the awkward questions — the one about the database’s recovery plan, the unowned cron, the silent retry loop. The reward for asking is a system that doesn’t page anyone at three in the morning.

Today I write React, TypeScript and Node by day, study software security and AI-assisted development by night at the University of Turku, and split the in-between mentoring the next batch of engineers. I’ve scaled things to 100K daily users, shipped product worth $500K+, and somehow still find time to win the occasional hackathon.
