Work Experience
Software Developer | Toska.dev (University of Helsinki)
March 2025 - Jan. 2026
Lead developer of Norppa, the course feedback system used by all University of Helsinki students and CurreChat, our inhouse teaching-oriented LLM & RAG app integrated into the University's systems. One technical highlight was building our custom RAG pipeline for document intelligence of course materials with self-hosted LLMs on kubernetes.
- React + NodeJS + Postgres, Docker, Openshift (k8s), ArgoCD GitOps, Grafana
- Hot stuff: Azure AI, local LLMs & RAG infra & document intelligence
Software Developer | Mindler
May 2024 - Sept. 2024
- Worked on medical data systems, the mental health app and psychologists' tooling at the Swedish 100+ employee digital mental health scale-up, in the Helsinki-located Data & Analytics team. It mostly dissolved during the fall due to company restructuring but I got some nice experience of working in a business.
- AWS Lambda and CDK, React Native, Typescript
Software Developer | Toska.dev (University of Helsinki)
March 2022 - May 2024
Lead developer of Norppa, the course feedback system used by all University of Helsinki students. True full-stack experience working with everything from virtual machines and k8s to UX design and negotiating feature requirements with stakeholders. Modern technologies and CI/CD practices in a small team. Interesting challenge was collaboration with Tampere University's software team to integrate Norppa with their systems as well. This required a large scale refactor from monolith to several swappable microservices and configurability.
- React + NodeJS + Postgres, Docker, Openshift (k8s), Grafana
