Johannes Palvanen
Senior Full-Stack Developer
Introductions
I care deeply about what I build and try to bring positive energy to the people around me. Seven years in mobile games has given me a full-stack perspective and a firm belief that the best work happens when the team actually enjoys being together.
What I've done
Built a game platform. Both sides of it.
Architected and built parts of the central platform powering Metacore's new game titles, from the React dashboard used daily by every craft touching the games, to the ASP.NET microservices and AWS infrastructure underneath. Four years of full ownership across the stack.
The shop that handled itself
Built the full purchase flow into the game backend, catalogue management in the dashboard, client delivery API, and receipt validation for both iOS and Android. Game teams got a working shop without writing payments logic.
Stepped up when it mattered
Took on the acting team lead role during a critical period, introducing structure through 1-on-1s, keeping the team focused, and driving cross-team alignment on the most ambitious architectural initiative the central tech team had undertaken.
