About Me

Back in the early 2000s, I was really into computers. Well, mostly I just played Unreal Tournament and Diablo II — but I also built my first simple website. I never imagined this could become a career, but thanks to Hive Helsinki, I can now proudly call myself a Full Stack Developer — something I’ve secretly always wanted.

These days, I focus on building projects with React, TypeScript, Node (or Bun), and Express, using MongoDB or PostgreSQL depending on the needs of the project. Recently, I’ve been diving into SvelteKit and Rust through small side projects — mostly to stay sharp and keep learning new things.

When I'm not doing my nerdy stuff, I'm probably playing basketball or doing some yoga.
