About

Currently Software Engineer at XBE - Helsinki, Finland

8+ Years in production engineering
5 Product teams, startup to enterprise
10+ Products shipped end-to-end
6 Languages used in production

For 8+ years I've designed and operated distributed systems for teams that can't afford downtime - from microservices and event-driven architectures to Kubernetes-based deployments and cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure and GCP. I take features from the first architecture sketch through to production - and I stay responsible for them after they ship.

Teams bring me in when a system has to stay reliable while it grows. I work close to product and design rather than behind a ticket queue, and I write decisions down so the next engineer doesn't have to reverse-engineer them.
