about this site

quanttype is a weblog about software engineering by Miikka Koskinen. I’m an independent consultant based in Helsinki, Finland. The topics I write about are rooted in the issues, both technical and human, that I encounter in my day-to-day work.

The older posts cover my outdoors hobbies, too, but nowadays I write about them in my newsletter Small Rapids.
