Enthusiastic Fullstack developer

I built this website when I was completing my studies in 2018. Now time have passed, I launched a successful career, working full time as a software designer for Etteplan since March 2019, which I feel so grateful about!

As this web page may not always be up to date, please also check my LinkedIn profile for more up to date infos. As for my Github, I use it more for experiments and to contribute to open source, as the big customers projects at work are currently all in private repos...

This website is made as a static HTML/CSS site, is hosted on Netlify and updates automatically using a CI/CD pipeline every time I push new code to Github.

Professional software developer

Who am I?

I am a full stack software developer for web and mobile with a solid technical background, currently working at Etteplan in Tampere, where I first started as a trainee in March 2019, as part of the excellent Code Academy recruitment program of Saranen Consulting. I am really enjoying being part of a highly professional team, building high quality web and mobile software solutions, using Javascript, React, React Native, Angular, Node.js, Nest.js, C#/.NET, MongoDB, SQL and SQL Server, native bridging of iOS (Swift/Objective C) and Android (Java) apps, designing and integrating REST APIs, HTML/CSS, PHP, Wordpress, and managing resources on Azure Cloud and AWS for big renowned companies that require the best quality of code.

I love to deliver highly professional work, bring the best of the team and strive with creativity and never ending perseverance. I am this kind of person who has a lot of integrity, valuing frequent communication and transparency both within the team and towards customers. I love to take new challenges and know how to be solution oriented in the terms of adversity.

I have a long background in the web development industry, both as a freelancer and working in teams since 2005 when I first started hand coding websites in HTML/CSS. In 2018 I obtained a 2 year university level diploma as a frontend/backend web developer at IMAGE Formation in Nimes (France). I choose the best suitable technology stack for the project at hand and am always willing to learn new skills.

I love working in Finland, where I find myself amongst very open minded people who have a high technological level. That's one of the main reasons why I moved to Finland in 2018, the other one being that I have my family here. I am very communicative and love to contribute to a great team, having an attitude of service, willing to create the best experience for customers and end users and to deliver excellent work. I have a pixel perfect eye and love to realise beautiful and functional applications.

In my free time I love to go running or skiing, play Irish music on the Celtic harp or button accordion and spend quality time with my family and friends in the nature.
