🤩
RockstarJani Hautakangas is a founder and senior software consultant with over 15 years of deep C++ and web engine experience, building and optimizing Chromium- and WebKit-based runtimes for embedded and consumer platforms. He founded KodeGood to deliver specialized consultancy spanning web engines, autonomous-systems HMIs, LiDAR/3D processing, and embedded defense software, often integrating CUDA, Kalman filtering, and Yocto-based platform maintenance.
