Software engineer Helsinki, Finland

Maxim Mikhailov.

Good software starts with understanding people.

I build web and mobile applications, but my work often starts long before the first line of code. I enjoy turning conversations into ideas, ideas into designs, and designs into working software.

Software Engineer

At ALMACO, I build internal and customer-facing software for the marine industry. It helps people keep track of equipment aboard vessels, follow project progress, and handle customer requests.

I also work on integrations between business and data systems and build AI-powered solutions to automate routine tasks. More recently, I’ve been developing inspection tools for vessels and shipyards.

I believe coding agents are the future of software engineering. I use Codex and Claude Code daily, delegating routine coding tasks so I can spend more time on architecture, design, and conversations with the people I’m building for.

I’m not actively looking for new opportunities at the moment, but I’m happy to connect and stay in touch.
