Aapo Kiiso

I'm a software developer at Lamia, a digital consultancy located in Helsinki, Finland. I currently work mainly with the open source Magento ecommerce platform. Alongside work I'm studying for a bachelor's degree in information technology at Aalto University, and hope to graduate in 2021.

Texts

I write stuff from time to time here. It's a bit of a pain at the moment, since I was clever enough not to use a CMS / static site generator for this website. It is what it is.
