Summary
Antti Ahola is a seasoned freelance programmer based in Tampere, Finland, with over 11 years of experience designing and implementing large-scale web and cloud systems. He has strong architecture and hands-on coding credentials from roles at HappyOrNot and Affecto, where he focused on Scala, Java, JavaScript and modernizing systems for scalability. Antti is especially interested in functional and reactive programming and frequently applies those paradigms to pragmatic, production-ready services on AWS and diverse data stores. His background includes leading high-profile projects like YLE Areena and working on consumer-facing platforms at Nokia, giving him deep experience in both customer-facing UX and backend resilience. As an architect who still codes extensively, he blends requirements analysis, customer communication and implementation to remove scalability bottlenecks.
