Rilk
A 2D adventure RPG built with vanilla Java and Swing. Features a custom combat system, original art and audio, explorable areas, and an in-game casino.
I'm a software engineer with hands-on experience building and deploying applications. I enjoy working across the development lifecycle, from early implementation through deployment pipelines and cloud platforms.
Most of my current work is in the web development ecosystem, using technologies such as React, Next.js, Astro, Spring Boot, AWS, PostgreSQL, and GitHub Actions. I have also used Python and C a little, and have some experience building desktop applications and video games with Java and C#.
I graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Turku in June 2026 with a thesis on pathfinding algorithms, and recently started my master's degree studies in software engineering in fall 2026, with a minor in cybersecurity.
During my summer trainee period at Vitec ALMA, I worked in a professional software development team on a large enterprise web application. The role gave me practical experience in fixing bugs, developing features, and collaborating in an established codebase.
I believe that actively building and deploying is the best way to learn software, which is why I like doing my own projects, and why I participate in hackathons like Since AI and Junction every year.
Outside of software, I like playing Counter-Strike, reading, and exercising. I'm currently reading Dostoevsky's Demons, and some of my recent reads include books like 1984 and Stella Maris.
