Hi, I’m Eeva-Liisa. I’m a software developer with a background in healthcare which means I learned early that systems don’t get points for elegance if they fail under pressure.

I didn’t take a traditional path into tech. That detour shaped how I work: I care about precision, clarity, and building software that people can actually rely on when it matters. I’m drawn to complex, real-world problems. From algorithmic scheduling in hospital environments to digital signature workflows and long-lived systems that need to evolve safely.

I care about thoughtful architecture, psychological safety, and working with people I can trust. It's something my background in biology and psychology has made hard to ignore. I put a lot of weight on clear documentation that explains why decisions were made, not just what was built, because clarity is what keeps systems and teams healthy over time.

I’m curious about AI as a development tool: useful when applied with intent, dangerous when treated as magic.

In short: I like challenging problems, stable systems, and software that respects the people developing and using it.
