Ibuildbyshipping.
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
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.
