Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTatu Arvela is a Senior Games Programmer with a decade of experience blending games development, full‑stack engineering, and software architecture from Helsinki. He has led front-end architecture and migrations—most notably rewriting a legacy AngularJS platform into a modern React stack using self-built tooling to avoid dual maintenance—while shipping user-facing systems with demanding behavioral and visual requirements. At Nitor he paired close designer collaboration with scalable front-end patterns, and now applies that product-first mindset to game development at Next Games, a Netflix studio. Comfortable across TypeScript, React, Node.js and cloud tooling, he also brings practical backend and embedded-device experience (in-store scanners) to game tech problems. Outside of professional work he stays hands-on through game jams and personal projects, keeping a player-focused perspective that informs his engineering decisions.
