Summary
Tommi Pääkkö is a Lead Developer and design thinker with 13 years of hands-on experience building web software, architectures, and developer tooling from Finland. He blends facilitation skills—running Design Sprints and workshops—with deep full‑stack craft, shipping artisanal solutions using Laravel, Svelte, TypeScript, and cloud platforms. Tommi has led technical efforts across medical, IoT, and fintech domains, improving developer experience (Backstage) and architecting scalable services with Terraform, Kubernetes, and FastAPI.
