Become a sponsor to Mikael Vesavuori
I build things that should already exist — elegant, useful tools and experiences that help developers, teams, and organisations get real work done.
I’m a Product Manager at evroc, where I work on developer-centric products and cloud-native technologies. On the side, I’m building projects like MolnOS (the world’s smallest cloud), Kod (a minimalist and sovereign Git tool), MikroChat (the ultralight self-hosted team chat app) and Phaset (a better way to do enterprise architecture).
Before this, I helped establish Polestar’s technical standards and platform foundations as part of the Architecture & Standards team and led org-wide Developer Experience efforts. Throughout my career I’ve also worked as a cloud architect, frontend lead, consultant, and founder across multiple startups and tech organisations.
My open-source work tends to focus on practical developer tooling and workflows — things that smooth the path from idea to production:
- Improving design-dev collaboration and token workflows with Figmagic
- Making engineering performance measurable and actionable with Dorametrix
- Bringing lightweight service catalog capabilities to teams via Catalogist
- Building tiny, reliable utilities like MikroLog and MikroTrace
- Publishing e-books like Better APIs and Domain Driven Microservices on AWS in Practice
- Exploring new DevEx tooling like Minion, ArchFit, StandardLint, and more
I also write about software and systems regularly, share talks and guides, and help teams think clearly about architecture, metrics, quality, and culture.
Sponsoring me means you support the ongoing maintenance and growth of OSS tools that are used by builders everywhere — projects that make teams more effective, reduce friction, and push forward better developer experience overall. At meaningful support levels I’d explore dedicating more structured time toward open-source development, community building, and long-term project evolution, without committing to “always on” availability.
