Lead Software Engineer: Vaisala Xweather; May 2025 - Present

Lead engineer in Vaisala’s Xweather portfolio, serving automotive, aviation, energy, and logistics industries, among others. Currently leading RoadAI, a computer-vision-powered road maintenance product that detects distresses and builds asset inventories at half the cost of traditional methods.

Technical lead of a cross-functional product team of 15+, owning engineering practices, planning, and feature delivery alongside core engineering.
Driving the technical strategy for major new initiatives, centred on next-generation capabilities, translating product vision into architecture and delivery.
Introduced feature-oriented delivery workflows, unblocking productisation of existing detection capabilities and decreasing lead time for new ones to reach customers.
Enabled engineers to contribute across service boundaries by investing in both tooling and culture: platform-agnostic reproducible dev environments, contribution docs, structured testing stages, and mentoring people to work beyond their primary domains.
