The Saimasol team

Meet the founders of Saimasol Oy and learn about their experience in AI and software development.

Three people.
From the Saimaa region.

We’re Elias, Jaakko and Eeri, three students at LUT University. We build AI tools, apps and websites.

We started Saimasol in 2026 to put our AI expertise to work and build solutions that fit the needs of each business. We’re excited about what AI could make possible in the future. We work with businesses to identify where AI can help and put the ideas we agree on into practice.

Co-founders

Elias Auvinen

Co-founder

Education

BSc (Tech) in Software Engineering, LUT University.
Master’s studies at LUT
Software Engineering and Digital Transformation

Skills

I’ve worked in IT for three years alongside my university studies in software engineering. In those roles, I’ve identified what clients need and written software to meet those needs. My strength is taking IT projects from start to finish. I work out what the client needs, turn it into clear requirements and take the project from design through implementation to deployment. That helps me understand both the client’s goals and the technology needed to meet them.

Free time

I spend much of my free time on the tennis court. I play and coach at Lappeenrannan Tennisseura and also organise national tennis competitions. Running a tournament is surprisingly similar to running an IT project. You have to juggle schedules, people and the unexpected.

Software Engineering and Digital Transformation

Skills

I have more than three years of experience in coding, requirements analysis and systems design. I’m most interested in AI. I’ve studied how agents built on language models can test software independently by writing and running tests and finding bugs. I now use what I’ve learned to make everyday work easier for clients.

Free time

When I’m away from my computer, I’m probably out running. Running is my favourite way to clear my head, and I’ve solved more than a few problems mid-run. I often spend my evenings watching a good film.

Co-founder

Education

BSc (Tech) in Software Engineering, LUT University.
Master’s studies at LUT
Software Product Management and Business

Skills

During my studies, I’ve gained experience across software development and learned to build around customers’ needs. I’m especially interested in turning those needs into apps and other tools that solve practical problems and make everyday life easier.

Free time

In my free time, I like staying active in different ways and coming up with fixes for everyday problems of my own. You might find me at a bouldering gym.
