Available for Junior/Mid Roles

Backend & Automation Developer

Building backend systems and AI-assisted workflows that process real data and produce actionable outputs. Focused on building APIs, automation pipelines, and real-time systems.

About Me

I am a software developer transitioning from cybersecurity consulting, now focused on building backend systems, automation, and AI-assisted workflows. After years of analyzing how systems break, I am now focused on building them. I specialize in Python backend development, system automation, and integrating LLMs into practical workflows.

Currently completing my Master's in Information Technology at the University of Turku, I am looking for early-career software engineering roles where I can combine my security mindset with my passion for building resilient, AI-enhanced applications.
