Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarkku Riekkinen is a Lead Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building and stewarding educational technology, best known as the lead developer of the open-source A+ learning management system. He combines hands-on development (backend services, Moodle/Astra plugins, Node.js integrations) with project leadership—managing releases, reviewing GitHub pull requests, mentoring junior engineers and supporting university instructors in production. Practical and solution-focused, he has a strong track record of turning instructor requirements into robust assessment and grading tools while also operating server infrastructure and single-sign-on systems. Open-source-oriented and academically rooted (M.Sc. in Computer Science from Aalto University with top grades), he’s now looking to apply his platform engineering and product-led development skills beyond the education sector.
