Joonas Salojärvi
Full-stack developer and software architect with a thirst for knowledge. Solving new problems excites me and I find it hard to settle for sub-par solutions.
I have a broad set of technical and soft skills, which makes me able to solve very complex problems even on my own.
One of my core strengths is the ability to learn quickly and deeply, which is why I’m not afraid to jump into completely new tech stacks.
During my freetime, I like to workout and play video games. My current hyperfocus is Magic: The Gathering. I’m also a DIY enthusiast, and like to experiment with new things. I used to brew my own beer, but now I’ve moved to making honey mead (inspired by Edler Scrolls V: Skyrim). I got myself a Raspberry PI just so that I could experiment with complete CI/CD and testing workflows in my school projects.
