A passionate software engineer. I thoroughly enjoy working with challenging yet exciting software engineering related work. Be it something I have experience with or something brand new, I am always ready for a challenge!
I am a software engineer with a passion for solving complex issues with technology. I have a background in computer science, and I have a strong interest in technology at large scale. I am currently working as a software engineer consultant at CGI in Helsinki, FI.
My current work project involves modernizing legacy tech-systems using generative AI.
My current personal project involves writing Conway’s Game of Life in a plethora of languages, including Rust, Zig, and Python.
Alongside my passion for tech, I enjoy running, playing video games, and cooking with friends. Additionally, I speak English, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Japanese.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:I am currently working as a software engineer consultant at CGI in Helsinki, FI. I have been part of 5 projects, ranging from PERN-stack Web Applications to creating a chatbot from scratch akin to ChatGPT based on the GPT-3 model offered by OpenAI. Additionally, I’ve developed and maintained infrastructures in the cloud - AWS and Azure - and conducting various DevOps tasks including implementing CI/CD pipelines.
My current project involves modernizing legacy tech-systems using generative AI.
For the course CS-C2130 - Software Project at Aalto University, I was been employed to a team of 8 students (7 developers, 1 Scrum Master) to create a web-based tool for internal use for Sulake’s Art Team based in London.
Bringing various skill sets, the team met the requirements and specifications of our Product Owner and we received positive feedback.
Employed to build a relatively simple website together with my friend as the whole IT-department with a small amount of prior knowledge, we created a vast and complex IT-infrastructure in addition to a complete web application.
Our tasks were many, including security, web and graphic design, server creation and maintenance, and database architecture, which early on gave me a deep appreciation for software engineering.
For my first semester as a second-year student, I worked as a teaching assistant for the largest beginner programming course at Aalto University: Programming 1, targeted at first year students with no prior coding experience. We were tasked with assisting the students with daily programming assignments as well assessing and grading a larger project towards the end of the course.
Assisting via lab sessions as well as a forum allowed me to hone the fundamentals of programming as well as share my knowledge and assist new students in their path of programming.
Deciding to follow my interest in technology at scale, I decided to enroll in the Big Data and Large-scale Computing major. After finishing my first year, I have gotten experience in employing technologies such as CassandraDB, Apache Kafka, and Apache Nifi, to create platforms compatible with data sizes and velocities of terabytes a day. Additionally, I have gained experience in data mining and software architecture.
Currently I am waiting to go on my exchange to Tokyo University in Tokyo, Japan, which will start in October 2024 and end in April 2025. I will be joining Prof. Yoshiro Kawahara’s laboratory to conduct research and experience the Japanese culture.
I wrote my Bachelor’s Thesis on the topic of “Challenges and Good Practices for Large-Scale Agile Software Development with Distributed Teams”. Similarly to the research I conducted with Prof. Casper Lassenius in 2020, the Thesis was a qualitative analysis on the unique challenges and benefits when adopting Agile at large scale for teams with members distributes to different sites. I was awarded a 5 out of 5 for my well-researched and in-depth analysis of the current state of Agile at scale.
