My Portfolio

I’m Juri Saltbacka — a “Full Power” Senior Software Engineer and Lead with a passion for building focused, scalable systems and guiding teams toward delivering real value with minimal overhead. I take a pragmatic approach to Extreme Programming, emphasizing simplicity, collaboration, and fast feedback loops over ceremony and bloat.

I’ve led cross-functional teams, architected full-stack systems, and shipped products that balance technical excellence with business impact. I care about clean code, thoughtful abstractions, and a deep understanding of the problem before jumping to solutions. My work spans real-time infrastructure, developer tooling, and complex UIs — always aiming for outcomes, not overengineering.

I’m driven by the challenge of turning ambitious ideas into elegant, working software — and helping others do the same.
