Christie Netto

Geospatial Software Developer

Based in Helsinki, I build mapping platforms, cloud infrastructure and the deployment pipelines that ship them — most recently for the Finnish government and the cities of Lahti and Jyväskylä at Triona.

About

I work across the stack: TypeScript and Java services, PostGIS databases, Terraform-managed Azure infrastructure, and the release pipelines that get apps into the App Store and Google Play.

I care about leadership, open-source collaboration and problem-solving — whether that's leading a database migration at work, running backend development for a student open-source club, or pitching at a hackathon.
