Safety-critical software engineering & scalable architecture

From architecture to production.

Software architecture and hands-on senior engineering for cloud, mobile and safety-critical systems. I've joined early while the big decisions are still open and stayed with the work during production. 18 years in, from FDA-cleared patient monitors to an EV charging platform serving tens of thousands of users. Available for new engagements from October 2026.

01 // TRACK RECORD

What I've built

55,000+Users on one platform

Founding engineer on a greenfield EV charging network for a major Finnish energy company — cloud backend, consumer app, operator dashboard and payments. Scalability, resilience and availability in a real-time distributed system with cloud architecture.

Regulated industriesCode in critical care

Vital signs monitoring software shipping in GE CARESCAPE bedside and transport monitors used worldwide. Familiar with IEC 62304 and ISO 14971 with a decade of medical software development experience and OCPP from EV charging.

Solo project, acquiredOwn product, 2020-2023

OwlOCR, a privacy-focused macOS utility, grown solo to thousands of monthly active users. And more important happy users, with average rating 4.8 / 5.0. Responsibilities included engineering, product, pricing and customer support. Acquired in 2023.

02 // CAPABILITIES

How I can help

Architecture & greenfield

System design alongside product and design while the direction is still open — then building it: event-driven backends, mobile apps, dashboards and integrations.

Senior engineering

Python/FastAPI, TypeScript/React, Flutter, Swift, Azure, Terraform, CI/CD. I drop into an existing team and pull my weight from the first week.

Safety-critical & regulated

IEC 62304 development processes, ISO 14971 risk management and verification strategy for medical devices — rigor that carries over anywhere failure is expensive.

Leading & handover

Technical leadership and mentoring through code review — including onboarding in-house teams to own the systems I helped build.
