|
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>
|
|
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 software engineering experience: ~12 years</strong>. This is a rough estimate; I've

|
been writing code most

|
of my life and I believe that deserves to be included, so a tacked on a few extra years to represent
|
|
that!
