I’m a full-stack engineer from Finland with 6 years of experience, currently building an AI chatbot product family at an AI company.
My path runs from hand-built client websites to production AI. That agency background — custom themes, tight deadlines, real stakeholders — is exactly what makes the AI work land: I don’t just wire up a model, I turn it into a product 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: retrieval pipelines and LLM integrations, Python services and Postgres data models, React dashboards and embeddable widgets. 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.
Founded Hiisi Digital Oy
Co-founded my own studio to take on freelance projects — shipping ideas into real, working products for clients.
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.'
Building AI products
Joined an AI company as a full-stack engineer, building a chatbot product family — across LLM backends, retrieval pipelines, APIs and the front-ends customers use every day, working alongside an external dev team.
How I work
Own the whole stack
Database to deploy to pixel. I like seeing a feature through end-to-end rather than 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.
