Professional Profile

Engineering dependable software at the intersection of backend systems, applied AI, and security.

I am a software engineer and researcher based in Oulu, Finland. My experience spans Python backend development, API design, Linux infrastructure, vulnerability and patch management, and machine-learning systems. I approach engineering with an emphasis on maintainability, clear documentation, and solutions that can operate reliably in real environments.

Alongside my professional work, I am pursuing an M.Sc. in Software Engineering and Information Systems at the University of Oulu. My previous master's research explored federated deep learning for intrusion detection and resulted in a peer-reviewed Springer publication. I am also developing my frontend capabilities with React and modern JavaScript to contribute more effectively across the full product lifecycle.
