Ville Nordlund

Helsinki, Finland · Clock & Cloud Intelligence

Senior product engineer.

10+ years building web and mobile products end to end, from the interface people use to the architecture underneath. I work with coding agents every day.

01 — What I do

Frontend architecture & design systems

React, Next.js and React Native, built Storybook first.

Backend & APIs

Multi-tenant NestJS and PostgreSQL services, typed end to end.

Platform & standards

CI/CD, cloud infrastructure and automated checks that keep standards from slipping.

AI-assisted delivery

Coding agents across the whole cycle: explore, write, test, review.

02 — How I work with AI

AI is part of nearly everything I build. My job is making sure it's right.

Evidence over confidence

AI sounds just as sure when it's wrong. Every change ships with proof: a test that fails without it, and a check of what the user actually sees.

Context is the multiplier

An agent is only as good as what it knows. The codebase's rules, decisions and conventions are written down where AI reads them, so it works the way the team does.

Contracts before code

Ambiguity is where AI invents. Components and APIs start as explicit contracts, with states, variants and types spelled out, so the agent builds what was meant.

03 — Building now

Current role

Clock & Cloud Intelligence

Clock & Cloud helps companies understand how geopolitical developments affect their business, combining expert analysis with a platform that turns it into intelligence they can act on. My part is building that platform: I own the frontend, and I often take features from design to release end to end, backend included.

Know what your dog needs today

An app I'm building for my dog Choko. It tells you whether your dog is getting enough, and what to do about it, based on breed, age, fitness, weather and every walk you log. Coding agents write most of the code, inside a system I designed to keep them honest.
