Software Developer
A proven track record of taking software from design to production
I'm a software developer from Helsinki with two and a half years of full-time experience building web applications for clients. Most of that work has been with React, Next.js and TypeScript at Codekatu Oy, where I took projects from the first design drafts all the way to production.
These days I'm back in school, finishing my Bachelor's in Business Information Technology at Haaga-Helia and the plan is to graduate in December 2026
I have experience from all parts of the stack. I've built frontends and backends, set up headless CMS platforms from scratch, and managed the VPS infrastructure everything runs on.
Some of the projects I have done.
Built a server-side rendered headless website optimized for SEO using Next.js and Sanity CMS. Configured Google Analytics, Tag Manager and cookie consent. Set up Sanity CMS for content management from ground up, enabling authenticated users to edit content, create new pages, and publish blog posts. Also helped to further develop the design by creating Figma prototypes.
Built a fully headless website for Codekatu Oy using Next.js, Strapi CMS, and PostgreSQL. Set up Strapi from scratch for structured content management and integrated MinIO (S3-compatible) for media storage. Configured and deployed the solution on a Hetzner VPS. Designed the website using Figma and implemented styling with Tailwind CSS.
Developed a loan application website using Next.js and Material UI. Set up a custom backend using Strapi, PostgreSQL, and MinIO for managing content and media storage. Enabled content management in three languages, allowing easy creation and editing of pages via Strapi.
Designed and developed an internal CMS tool for managing content for customer projects with Next.js. Configured a PostgreSQL database using Prisma as the ORM and implemented user authentication with email functionalities.
Delivered an SEO-optimized static website built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Configured Webpack from scratch for efficient asset bundling and production optimization. Contributed to the design implementation and created Figma prototypes.
