Hey, I’m Akseli.

I’m a seasoned front-end developer, currently working on Yle Areena web apps at the Finnish Broadcasting Company, Yle.

If you prefer, this page is also available in Finnish.

How I work

I take ownership of my work from day one — from planning all the way through the full lifecycle of the product or code.
I aim to make everything I build accessible to everyone, in every situation. I create services people can rely on.
I focus on making digital services easier to use. Tech can be complicated, but most of the time, it really doesn’t have to be.

In my free time, I enjoy playing games — both video games and the tabletop kind. Lately I’ve been diving into Cyberpunk 2077, Civ VI and Wingspan.
When the weather's nice, my favorite way to unwind is hitting the roads and gravel trails around the Helsinki area on my bike.
Nothing beats a good adventure or sci-fi movie. Film festivals are the best — you often stumble across movies you’d never even hear about otherwise.
Even though I get to code a lot at work, I still like messing around with fun little side projects. Most recent one? ”Who’s your favorite Bond?”
