Summary
Miika Henttonen is a senior software engineer based in Helsinki with 12 years of experience building full‑stack web applications using Typescript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL and AWS. He combines consultancy and partnership experience at Kipinä Software with in‑house roles, most recently joining Smartly, and has repeatedly delivered backend systems, integrations and customer self‑service portals in complex microservice environments. A pragmatic advocate of Agile, Lean Code and testing (with pragmatic XP practices), he focuses on maintainable, well‑tested systems rather than chasing silver bullets. Notably comfortable across the stack, he has implemented gRPC backends, serverless AWS tooling and developer‑friendly frontends (Gatsby, React Hooks), and brings a craftsman’s attention to cleaner codebases and integration patterns.
