I worked with Hannu at HTM for 1.5 years. He started our in-house development for us and we are very lucky to have had his expertise, innovation, leadership and professionalism as the foundation we are now building on. From before day one he went above and beyond to understand our business needs and single-handedly engineer a full-stack solution that exceeded expectations at the time, and has since proven to be both highly maintainable and performant. As the team expanded he led with ease, instilling quality practices while teaching and guiding. Hannu is also easy and enjoyable to work with and I hope to get the chance to work together again one day.
