Senior Full Stack Developer
I design and build web platforms end to end — from typed APIs and resilient data layers to interfaces that feel instant. Twelve years of turning ambiguous product ideas into calm, measurable, production software.
The best infrastructure is the kind nobody has to think about. That is the standard I hold my work to.
I’m Brandon — a senior full stack developer based in Lahti, Finland, working with product teams across Europe and North America. I care about the whole surface area of a product: the schema, the service boundaries, the deployment pipeline, and the last 100 milliseconds of an interaction.
Most of my recent work sits at the intersection of TypeScript, Node.js, React and PostgreSQL, running on AWS with Kubernetes and Terraform. I’ve led platform migrations, built real-time collaboration features, and taken teams from weekly to multiple-daily releases without trading away stability.
I write clear RFCs, review code generously, and prefer boring technology used well over novel technology used loosely.
A toolkit refined over a decade of production systems — chosen for reliability, not novelty.
Where I spend most of my working hours, weighted by years in production use.
Accessible, fast interfaces with design-system discipline.
Typed services, event-driven workflows and clean contracts.
Schemas that age well, queries that stay fast at scale.
Infrastructure as code, observability, zero-downtime deploys.
A few systems I designed, built and operated — with the numbers that justified them.
Rebuilt a B2B analytics product around streaming aggregates. Replaced nightly batch jobs with Kafka consumers writing to materialised Postgres views, and a React front end that patches charts over WebSockets instead of polling.
Led the incremental decomposition of a ten-year-old PHP monolith into typed Node.js services behind a GraphQL gateway, using the strangler pattern so the storefront never went dark during migration.
Built a multiplayer editing engine on CRDTs (Yjs) with presence, comments and offline sync. Designed the persistence layer so documents snapshot cheaply and replay deterministically for audit history.
Each role, versioned — with what was added, improved and fixed along the way.
I’m open to senior and lead full stack roles, as well as focused contract engagements. Tell me about the problem — I usually reply within one business day.
