Aki Salmi is a solutions developer and software crafter with 11+ years of experience building resilient, test-driven systems and coaching teams to higher performance. He blends deep hands-on skills across .NET, TypeScript, Python and serverless architectures with a human-centered approach to team leadership, empathy training, and supervision. Aki has a track record of starting and scaling developer communities and conferences—from Turku Agile Day to cross‑European events—creating space for practitioners to learn and collaborate. As a freelancer and lead developer he focuses on event-sourced, domain-driven systems with fast-running test suites and clear business-aligned boundaries. Equally at home pairing on code as he is running empathy-at-work sessions, he aims to help teams find joy and meaning in their daily work. Based in Turku, he combines practical engineering discipline with a leadership style honed guiding people in the outdoors as a hiking guide.
