I'm a full-stack engineer from Finland with 6 years of experience, working full-time in a product team.
My path runs from hand-built client websites to full-time product work. That agency background (custom themes, tight deadlines, real stakeholders) is exactly what makes the rest land: I don't just build a feature, I turn it into something people can rely on, with a backend that holds up and a front-end that feels considered.
Today that means working across the whole stack: data models and APIs on the back end, React and Next.js on the front. The web-developer years are still in there. They're just the foundation now.
The path
From gamer to coder
Started building my own projects on the side, turning tens of thousands of hours of gaming energy into code before switching careers into tech.
Marketing-agency web developer
Made the jump into tech full-time. Built custom WordPress themes and complex client projects at a top Finnish marketing agency, and learned to communicate with people who don't speak 'developer.'
Full-stack engineer
Moved into full-time product engineering, working across the stack from data models and APIs to the front-ends people use every day.
How I work
Own the whole stack
From the data layer to the UI. I'd rather take a feature all the way than throw it over a wall.
Ship, then refine
Real software in front of real users beats endless polish in the dark. Iterate from there.
Detail is the product
Agency years taught me that the small things (motion, copy, performance) are what make a product feel trustworthy.
