What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands‑on engineering role where I can improve infrastructure and developer workflows, work with cloud native tooling, mentor peers, and help migrate legacy systems to scalable microservices.

I am a full‑stack software engineer and DevOps specialist based in Helsinki with 7+ years of professional experience building and operating web applications. I focus on converting monolithic systems into microservices, containerisation, and robust infrastructure automation.

I’ve accelerated developer onboarding, decoupled multiple services from legacy apps, and introduced automated environment tooling integrated with secrets management. I maintain strong Linux administration skills and hold certifications from Microsoft, Cisco and LPI.

My background spans frontend and backend development using TypeScript, JavaScript, Ruby, Python and more, plus cloud and CI/CD technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, Azure, GitLab CI/CD and GitHub Actions. I’ve supported high‑traffic sites and designed tooling to improve reliability and developer productivity.

I work well in Agile teams, value clear documentation and collaboration, and seek roles where I can drive infrastructure improvements, mentor colleagues, and deliver scalable, maintainable systems.
