Career

  1. Since 2025

    Tieto

    Senior Data Engineer → Senior AI Engineer

    Back in healthcare, this time with AI. I design agent platforms for healthcare customers, and the guardrails that make them safe to run in production.

    Case studies: Turning security findings into work AI agents can act on, One gateway in front of every model

  2. 2024–2025

    OP

    Senior Cloud Developer

    During an enterprise-wide move to Azure, I advised application teams on their architecture and built the platform that let them deploy without waiting on anyone.

    Case study: Azure without the platform-team ticket

  3. 2022–2024

    RELEX Solutions

    Cloud Engineer → Senior Cloud Engineer

    On the central cloud platform team, I looked after the Azure estate every product team built on. Alongside the job, I completed a Master’s in Cloud-Based Software Engineering at VAMK.

    Case study: Finding 30% in the Azure bill

  4. 2021–2022

    LTIMindtree

    Senior Cloud Engineer

    A year of cloud migrations for clients: taking workloads out of on-premises data centers and onto Azure, and keeping them available while we did it.

  5. 2019–2021

    Allscripts

    Software Engineer → Senior Cloud Engineer

    In healthcare software, a bug can reach a patient, so correctness and security come first. It is also where I moved my first applications to Azure.

  6. 2017–2019

    Tata Consultancy Services

    Intern → Programmer → Assistant System Engineer

    I joined TCS as an intern straight after my degree at Pune University. Working inside large, long-running enterprise systems taught me how real software behaves, and how to make it faster.
