Engineering leadership
that ships.

For more than 20 years, I have been building digital products, leading engineering teams, and helping organizations turn ideas into successful technology solutions. My experience spans software engineering, system architecture, cybersecurity, UX, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and artificial intelligence.

Today, I am the founder and CTO of Gofisco and Dogpark Finland Oy, where I lead product strategy, architecture, and engineering. I work across the entire technology stack, building secure and scalable platforms with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Go, Docker, Kubernetes, and modern cloud-native technologies.

In recent years, my focus has increasingly shifted toward AI, specializing in large language models (LLMs), AI agents, evaluation frameworks, and real-world AI applications. Security remains a core principle in everything I build, with a strong emphasis on OWASP best practices, secure-by-design architectures, and modern CI/CD pipelines.

The case studies below highlight a selection of the products, technologies, and challenges that have shaped my journey.
