Top SchoolElena Kazakova is a Senior Frontend Developer based in Espoo with 11 years of experience blending UX sensibilities and robust frontend engineering to build and evolve design systems and customer-facing web products. At Posti Group she has led the Design System as Tech Lead through rebranding and theming efforts and now contributes to the posti.com renewal, demonstrating a strong mix of product-focused thinking and hands-on implementation.

Comfortable bridging design and code, she has repeatedly driven cross-functional workshops and hackathons to align teams around practical UX solutions. She holds an MS in Information Networks from Aalto University and a bachelor’s in Business Informatics, reflecting a solid foundation in both technical systems and user-centered design.
