Hi, I am Erkki

Full stack developer

About me

Hi, I am Erkki. I've been working professionally since 2020 and been programming since 2014. I started programming making small mods for Minecraft and games with GameMaker.

I started my professional journey as a frontend developer and have since moved on as a fullstack developer with more focus on the backend and DevOps side. I found out that while frontend was fun and interesting I had more passion for backend development.

My favourite technologies to use

GoLang

My current favourite programming language and go to tool for building backend services and commandline tools. I have been using it since 2021 now and been loving it ever since.

PostgreSQL

Currently my go to choice for an easy to use but powerful database engine.

TypeScript

After learning JavaScript, I quickly moved over to TypeScript. My main draw to TypeScript was its type system as I am not a fan of languages that are not strongly typed. I have been using it in both frontend and backend projects.

React

At my first job I used React almost every day to build web applications and websites. Nowadays I use it along with NextJS due to its speed and flexibility.

TailwindCSS

I used to write all of my CSS using fancy tools like SCSS. But nowadays I prefer the speed of tailwind. Before configuring took a lot of time for new projects but thanks to tailwind this process has sped up a lot.
