Senior🎓
Top SchoolHeidi Hassinen is a multidisciplinary software leader and founder with eight years of experience bridging deep-tech audio research, AI and music. As Head of Software at Aani (spun out from Aalto’s Acoustics Lab) she leads C/C++ real-time audio development, devOps and productization, with hands-on expertise in JUCE, Eigen, BLAS/LAPACK and cross-compilation for Mac, Linux and Windows. Her background combines dual master's degrees in Computer, Communication and Information Sciences and Composition, plus studies in electroacoustic composition and musicology, which informs a rare fluency across signal processing, generative audio and human-centered sound design. She has shipped research-to-product work in spatial audio and generative AI, and earlier roles at Aalto, Nokia and Nordea sharpened her skills in scientific computing, Python/AI tooling and production-grade engineering. Beyond code, Heidi’s experience as a composer, pianist and musicologist gives her a distinctive perspective on psychoacoustics and creative collaboration that shapes both R&D and product strategy.
