Hi! I'm Aapo 👋
I'm a software engineer from Helsinki, Finland, currently living in Munich, Germany.
I previously worked for almost 10 years as a full-stack web developer, building digital commerce and healthcare services.
I recently completed a M.Sc. in Space Technology, and am now working at TALOS GmbH, writing on-board software for an upcoming fleet of satellites for wildlife tracking.
I blog occasionally on my website aapo.kiiso.fi.
Some fun stuff I've done:
🛰️ Space projects
- APTAS CubeSat On-board data handling and attitude control software
🚋 Public transport
- aapokiiso/hsl-congestion Tram congestion estimation in Helsinki
- aapokiiso/fillarivahti City bike availability estimation in Helsinki
🚲 Travel blogs
I've done two long tours with my bike. For both of these trips I built a static website that pulls photos out of a Google Photos album and shows them on a map, making it easy to follow along.
- aapokiiso/korea-2023 South-Korea and Japan in 2023
- aapokiiso/toulouse-2024 Towards Toulouse in 2024, where I studied the 2nd year of my master's.
🤝 Open source
I've contributed PRs to various repositories, most of them to the Magento 2 Open Source ecommerce platform (listed here).
