Petri Autero is a Founder and seasoned cloud and software architect with 11+ years of hands-on experience building resilient, automated platforms across travel, retail, banking, insurance and media. He blends deep coding expertise (Java, Scala, C#, Python, Go) with infrastructure-as-code and DevOps practices, having led platform engineering teams and driven IaC at scale for hundreds of companies. Petri has led cloud transformation efforts as a Cloud Architect for the City of Helsinki and as CTO/Lead Architect at Paf, focusing on automation, CD/DevOps, observability and security. An active open-source contributor, he has improved widely used tools like Terragrunt and the Terraform AWS provider by adding robust retry/error-handling and GuardDuty support. Comfortable translating business needs into technical strategy, he’s as likely to mentor teams as he is to debug production automation or pull cables in a midnight server room.
