Mirko Grönroos

I enjoy building maintainable, well-running systems and staying close to interesting technology. I like helping people figure things out and tend to learn a lot myself in the process. These days the tech means TypeScript, AI agents and agentic development, computer vision, AWS, Kafka and distributed systems engineering. Most free time goes to family and cats. Beyond that I don't really know boredom, there's always something new to get into, from woodworking and electronics to armchair physics and philosophy. The occasional triathlon and a hike in Lapland when possible. I also care about doing things securely and privately, respecting right to repair and ownership, and have a lot of time for the Unix philosophy and text-based tools.
