I am Mikhail (Mikko), a multi-disciplinary software engineer based in Helsinki with 7+ years of production experience spanning full-stack web development, DevOps, and cross-platform desktop applications.

My strongest competencies are in TypeScript/Deno, Svelte 5, Rust, and container-based infrastructure (Podman, Docker, Kubernetes). I have hands-on CI/CD experience with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI, and I have maintained services handling 20M+ monthly visits. I am comfortable owning the full lifecycle — from architecture and implementation to deployment pipelines and production monitoring.

In recent roles I decoupled microservices from monolithic codebases, reduced dev environment setup time by 25%, and delivered a complete Svelte 5 dashboard rewrite from a legacy React application. I thrive on moving things forward — whether independently or collaborating with a team — and I take particular satisfaction in automating manual processes and improving developer experience.

I am drawn to roles with interesting technical challenges where I can apply my breadth of experience across the stack. I value clean architecture, modern tooling, and working in an environment where engineers are trusted to take ownership. These days, I consider myself an AI enthusiast and, in fact, chances are this file was assembled by one of the agents I configured.

Thank you for your time. I would be happy to discuss how my background fits your needs, walk through my portfolio, or take on a technical challenge.
