Work with meJaakko Maatiala
Full-Stack Developer
I started coding at 12 when I tried to build a game for my friends. That first taste of turning ideas into interactive reality was addictive — and Ive never stopped.
After studying Computer Science at the Keuda Sarviniitynkatu, I jumped into the startup world where I learned that great software is about people as much as technology. Fast iteration, honest feedback, and shipping things users love became my mantra.
Today I work as a freelance full-stack developer, partnering with startups and agencies across Europe to build ambitious digital products. Im happiest when Im solving a genuinely hard problem with a great team.
