Summary
Harri Avellan is a hands-on software architect and generalist with 13 years of experience designing and implementing cloud-native systems, SRE practices, and data engineering solutions for both public and private sectors. As a private contractor he focuses on public sector cloud migrations, bootstrapping agile teams, and bringing DevSecOps to production using Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS technologies. He combines deep practical skills in Go, Python, Scala and Rust with experience across full-stack, big data, and infrastructure projects from OpenStack to EKS. A serial founder and community builder—co-founder of a digital marketplace and Helsinki Hacklab—he pairs technical coaching and project leadership with active involvement in open-source tooling. Based in Vihti, Finland, Harri is as comfortable writing infrastructure code as he is driving organisational change to make teams ship securely and reliably.
