Tanel Kriik is a pragmatic software developer with 11 years of consulting experience designing and delivering backend systems across distributed platforms, data analytics, and AI-enabled services. Based in Tampere, Finland, he has a strong functional-programming bent and routinely applies Clojure and Scala to build microservices, REST APIs, and GDPR-aware data pipelines on AWS and PostgreSQL. His background includes performance-focused maintenance and refactoring of complex localisation systems, where meticulous debugging, profiling and fuzzing cut errors and improved stability. At Kodan he architects solutions spanning load testing, analytics and AI integration, while earlier roles at Yle exposed him to commission-based payment flows and high-availability broadcast tooling. Equally comfortable in low-level systems work and high-level design, he enjoys salvaging messy codebases and finding creative technical workarounds for thorny problems. Colleagues value his blend of hands-on engineering discipline and curiosity about security, distributed systems and applied AI.
