About me

I am a software development student at Oulu University of Applied Sciences and currently work as a Software R&D Trainee at Nokia in Oulu. I enjoy practical problem solving and building maintainable software across the full stack, from user interfaces and backend services to databases.

In my current role, I work with Python, TypeScript, Angular, Flask, MongoDB and Jira in an agile R&D environment. My earlier studies and projects have also given me experience with JavaScript, SQL, FastAPI, Node.js, C++, Git, Linux and embedded development. I am particularly interested in full-stack development, backend systems and modern web technologies.
