Kalle joins One4all to strengthen our software development team
One4all brings together professionals from a wide range of fields, and our team has now welcomed a new addition: Kalle Hallivuori, who has joined us in software development. Let’s get to know Kalle a little better and discover the experience and expertise he brings to his new role.
Three decades of experience in software development
Kalle brings with him a long and diverse career in the software industry. Over the years, he has worked as a software developer, database systems manager and team builder. He has also gained experience as both a consultant and an entrepreneur. The real estate sector is familiar territory for Kalle as well: he has been responsible for the further development of the system used by one of Finland’s largest real estate agencies.
“My own professional development has centred around agile development. How can processes be developed to work better? One of the key insights for me has been that this requires an understanding of people and an ability to understand social dynamics.”
At One4all, Kalle works as a software architect, focusing on the overall architecture of the new version of our system. The new system is being built on an entirely new architecture, which also means rethinking how we approach the system as a whole. Plans also include further developing automated testing and monitoring for the service.
Collaboration makes work meaningful
One of the things that attracted Kalle to One4all was the opportunity to work on a digital system designed to serve people. The working community was equally important. Kalle and Janne, who leads One4all’s development team, found so much common ground that what was originally scheduled as a one-hour job interview ultimately turned into a three-hour exchange of ideas.
“What I’m looking forward to most is good collaboration, because that’s what makes work rewarding. Ultimately, working together is what makes the work meaningful. There’s already an interesting history here, while at the same time, people are receptive to each other’s ideas. I enjoy working in smaller teams because it’s easy to get excited about what you’re doing and work across traditional role boundaries. I realised that at One4all, I’ll get to work on exactly the kinds of things where I know I can contribute.”
When the working day ends, code gives way to punk music, games and books
Outside work, Kalle’s life revolves around family, music, games and books. A father of three, he says he enjoys reading books chosen by his wife, which tend to broaden his horizons in just the right way.
His old Commodore 64 still gets plenty of use when he gets together with friends. From time to time, Kalle also picks up his bass and writes lyrics for his punk band.
A warm welcome to One4all, Kalle!
