I am an experienced <b>full stack software engineer</b> currently based in <b>Helsinki, Finland</b>. I am
interested in
writing code that is readable, (appropriately) scalable and
well-architected. I am always curious about new paradigms, patterns and tools.
</p>
<p>I tend to <b>gravitate towards the backend</b>, since that's usually where the growing pains are for services
that are scaling up. In the frontend I am <b>strong with React</b>, but am increasingly interested in
vanilla JS and other natively supported features that browsers have nowadays.</p>
<p>
In my spare time I write poetry and fiction, read a lot of books and dabble in improvisational theatre
and windsurfing. I also contribute to open source projects when I have the time!
I've been programming since childhood, first by building Web 1.0-style web pages, then by coding games. At
university,
I used my programming talents to simulate plasma at a <b>fusion energy lab</b> for my <b>physics degree</b>.

<strong>Years of experience: ~12 years</strong>. This is a rough estimate: I started learning
programming as a teen in 1999 and my first programming job was in 2002,
constructing web shops in Perl for my local ISP. I then worked on and off with coding until I graduated
university, so it's hard to put a number on my "years of experience".
