Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElias Toivanen is a Lead Developer based in Helsinki with 10 years’ experience building and operating REST APIs and cloud-native services for retail banking at OP Financial Group. Trained as a chemist (Laudatur) and experienced in high-performance research code, he brings a strong analytical background to designing reliable Java and AWS-based systems and pragmatic DevOps practices. His career spans full‑stack and serverless work—from React Native and TypeScript to AWS CDK and Java—backed by deep SQL and database experience gained earlier in investment research. Known for shipping PSD2-compliant APIs that power customer-facing banking services, he focuses on well-designed software for everyday people and enjoys candid, human-first collaboration. An unexpected detail: his MSc work implemented massively parallel GPGPU computations published in a peer‑reviewed journal, reflecting comfort with both low-level performance engineering and production services.
