I’m software engineer and I've mostly worked with startups using Ruby on Rails, and more recently with React. I started self-teaching programming before I had left school. I have experience with every element of the stack and at designing and building robust, scalable apps that make business sense. I also enjoy focusing on web accessibility.
As I've mostly worked with startups, my typical approach tends to involve getting a big-picture view of the company, products and approaches, and finding the ways software can deal with the pain-points.
Outside of work, I am studying Finnish and Swedish, running, occasionally teaching first aid (I worked in healthcare for a while) and self-studying programming-related things I don't get to use at work.
Freska April 2017 - November 2018
I was responsible for all backend work. One of my biggest tasks has been giving the platform a way to allocate work which it is realistically acheivable for cleaners to travel to.
I was also extensively involved in recruitment, and keeping a 'big-picture' view of the whole company to influence technical decision-making.
Leadfeeder June 2015 - April 2017
As an early employee, I wore many hats and later focused on data quality. I also took the lead on projects, and mentored new team members.
One of my biggest pieces of work involved creating software to quickly check the validity of and enrich the information the software provided about customers' leads.
