Summary
Henri Kinnunen is a co-founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building developer-first products and integration services from Helsinki, Finland. He leads Authalla’s push into passwordless identity while also guiding client projects and mentoring teams at 8-bit-sheep, combining hands-on coding with delivery and stakeholder communication. His background spans backend and frontend stacks—Java, Node.js, Scala, React—and devops tooling, shaped by roles at Reaktor, Smartly.io and Solita where he focused on reliable, well-tested services and automation. Comfortable switching between startup speed and enterprise-grade process, he’s as likely to write production code as he is to design deployment workflows. An engineer who prefers eliminating passwords, he brings pragmatic security thinking to identity and access management problems.
