About
Hello, I’m Jarkko, a software engineer. I want to solve problems using as little software as possible.
I’ve been writing software professionally for over a decade. During that time, I’ve developed systems for various sectors such as utilities, security, critical infrastructure, and the public sector. Currently, I’m working in the banking sector.
I have experience working on backend, frontend, and mobile applications using different languages and technologies. I try to avoid limiting myself too much to specific technology stacks, but I’ve worked mostly in the Python and Java ecosystems.
I like building great products. I draw a lot of inspiration from Extreme Programming (the people who formulated it got a lot of things right). I’m particularly fond of test-driven development.
Preferred way of working
- Collaborative development (software teaming, pairing)
- Trunk-based development
- Test-driven development
Forever learning:
- Domain-driven design
Education
- MSc, Computer Science
- BSc, Computer Science
- Minor in Mathematics
- Minor in Statistics
