Senior full-stack engineering with real systems depth.
I work at Wärtsilä as an Automation Laboratory Expert, developing and maintaining testing rigs for the UNIC engine control system, improving CI and test automation involving hardware-in-the-loop rigs, and supporting validation of control functionalities in simulated and production engine environments.
My background spans backend services, internal web applications, operational automation, and production infrastructure. That has meant backend services, web-based tools, Linux-first automation, and hybrid cloud environments supporting security-sensitive operations. I hold an M.Sc. in Computer Engineering focused on parallel computing, GPU programming, and distributed systems, which lets me work across product-facing software, platform concerns, and lower-level performance work without losing sight of delivery, maintainability, or operational reality.
What I do
- Delivery scope
- Backend services, internal applications, automation, and production-facing engineering work.
- Typical environments
- Hybrid infrastructure, security-sensitive operations, and business-critical internal workflows.
- Technical range
- Full-stack software delivery with deeper reach into systems, performance, and compute-oriented work.
- Working style
- Maintainable systems, operational ownership, and practical engineering rather than narrow specialization.

How I work
- Prefer maintainable systems that can be operated and debugged by other people
- Use measurement, tests, and operational signals before making performance claims
- Automate repetitive work when the manual path is error-prone or slow
- Design with reliability, security, and observability in mind from the start
- Work comfortably across application code, infrastructure, and lower-level implementation details
Selected work
- Engine control system test rigs
- Developing and maintaining hardware testing rigs for the UNIC engine control system at Wärtsilä, including CI integration for hardware-in-the-loop test automation and validation workflows.
- Internal products and backend delivery
- Designed and implemented backend services, internal tooling, and operational applications for access auditing and network device workflows in a business-critical internal environment.
- Infrastructure, automation, and operational ownership
- Owned Linux-first automation and hybrid cloud operations across Azure and on-prem systems, improving consistency for recurring operational work.
- Live production and technical systems
- Seven years of freelance live production engineering at Frontline Audio, delivering audio, lighting, and rigging for major touring artists in high-pressure, time-critical environments.
- Graphics, compute, and GPU portability
