Lead Software Developer at Futurice
Hämeenlinna, Mainland Finland
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAxel Havukangas is a Lead Software Developer with 13 years of experience building modern web and mobile interfaces, currently focused on JavaScript ecosystems including React and React Native. He combines hands-on engineering—spanning frontend polish, occasional backend and CI work—with technical leadership and product ownership in small multidisciplinary teams across finance, energy, media and healthcare. His background in Python, Java, Cassandra and SQL, plus academic research in embedded systems and data visualization, gives him a pragmatic yet analytical approach to complex problems. Curious by nature, he deliberately switches technologies to learn new paradigms (he’s even fond of union types and vector graphics), and uses leadership roles to create more productive environments rather than for title alone. Based in Hämeenlinna, Finland, he delivers reliable client-facing solutions while occasionally diving deep into DevOps and ML-adjacent visualization work.
