Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiro Nurmela is a Principal Engineer with 12 years of experience who architects cloud-native news platforms and leads engineering teams at Sanoma Media Finland, supporting the largest subscription newspaper in the Nordics. He blends hands-on coding (TypeScript, React, Scala, Java, AWS) with mentoring, product discovery and aligning technical work to business and journalistic goals. A generalist by trade, he thrives across abstraction levels—from single lines of code to strategic “blue ocean” product thinking—and deliberately looks for non-technical solutions when they best serve the problem. His background includes building data journalism tooling in fast-paced newsrooms and founding a niche sports-tech venture, reflecting a practical curiosity that spans research, teaching and product consulting.
