Who I Am

I'm a software developer and DevOps engineer based in Helsinki, Finland, currently working at Ericsson where I design CI/CD pipelines, manage Kubernetes clusters, and automate infrastructure.

My background spans IoT, blockchain, payment systems, and telecom — across five countries and three degrees. Outside of work I run a self-hosted K3s HA cluster at home with Longhorn storage, MetalLB, Caddy, Authelia, and a full Arr media stack — because the best way to learn infrastructure is to break it at home first.
