Summary
Juuso Nykänen is a Helsinki-based Co-Founder and CTO with a decade of experience building full‑stack products and data-driven tooling, currently leading development of hELM1, a visual asset management platform for sustainable fixed asset lifecycle management. He blends hands-on engineering (Python, R, JavaScript/Node, React-Redux, VBA) with entrepreneurial chops from founding multiple ventures including DigiJoukkue and Excelkoulu, where he turned process automation and short microprojects into measurable ROI for clients. Past roles range from senior software developer at Virta to chief data scientist at Shook, demonstrating an ability to move between product engineering, analytics and marketing optimization. Juuso favors pragmatic automation—having built ETL and serverless pipelines that cut manual work by an order of magnitude—and still coaches teams on practical Excel and scripting improvements. His background in both computer science (University of Helsinki) and business (Aalto University) lets him bridge technical design and commercial impact, often spotting small efficiency wins that scale.
