Jyrki Muukkonen is a Senior Backend Developer with 13+ years building distributed systems, backend data pipelines and APIs, currently shaping data and cloud services at Oura from Helsinki. He brings deep Python expertise alongside hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, Redis and scalable storage like GlusterFS, and a pragmatic background spanning sysadmin, DB design and low-level protocol tinkering. Comfortable across REST, GraphQL and JSON streaming, he combines pragmatic engineering with a historian’s familiarity with web stacks from Perl/PHP to modern cloud tooling. His career through F-Secure, Aiven and consulting roles reflects a steady focus on reliable, production-ready backend architecture and observability. An MSc in Computer Science and Language Technology underpins his analytical approach and occasional interest in language- and protocol-level details that often reveal subtle system optimizations.
