Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarl Westerlund is a software engineer based in Turku with nine years of professional experience and a background in political science (MA, Åbo Akademi) who transitioned into IT through focused studies in computer science. He gained hands-on back-end experience during a Codepoint trainee role at the City of Turku, building a Django/Python application from scratch and owning API development, database handling, data parsing and automated tests, while also learning JavaScript and Docker-centric tooling. Currently at CGI, he combines disciplined academic thinking with practical engineering skills, comfortable learning new languages and libraries quickly. Native in Swedish and fluent in Finnish and English, he thrives both independently and in teams, and brings an interest in automation and society-facing technology to his work. An unusual strength is his mix of social-science training and technical practice, which helps him reason about user needs and system impacts beyond pure code.
