Samuli Linnankoski

Full-Stack Development

I work fluently with all aspects and layers of software engineering, from early prototyping to full-scale production use. Whether it's about business requirements, UI/UX, APIs, databases, backend or your fancy new micro-frontend, I'm confident I can help you. With years of hands-on experience architecting complex cloud and standalone applications I'm equipped to help with whatever you can throw at me.

Audits & Reviews

During my professional career I've done countless code reviews and quality audits to assess everything from small pieces of code to large enterprise systems. I have a great understanding of the most popular JS frameworks, design patterns, object oriented and functional programming, distributed services, API design and many others.

Tech Lead

Need someone to lead your development or make sure that your technological foundation stays solid? Or maybe build a new team and hire the right people? I'm a highly enthusiastic person that has the required skills, experience and vision to make it happen. During the last two years my coworkers have rated me at 9.6 (scale 1-10) for "How likely would you be to recommend Samuli to a colleague?".

I've led the development of an eCommerce platform and I'm also familiar with Shopify. Additionally I've run my own Amazon.com based business for a couple of years. On top of that I have done a fair share of marketing, A/B testing, growth hacking and advertising on the way.
