The team
The people behind Enlightened Bits.
We're two engineers from Helsinki, both Aalto University graduates. We build intelligent systems for shipping companies, ports and freight forwarders, running on infrastructure our customers control.
Maximilian
Co-founder
M.Sc. Information Networks, Aalto University
Maximilian has a Master of Science in Information Networks from Aalto University, where he worked at the meeting point of technology, data and people. He then went to San Francisco to build AI agents, working hands-on with autonomous systems at the frontier of the field. At Enlightened Bits he brings that experience home to Finland.

Co-founder
M.Sc. Complex Systems, Aalto University
Juhani comes from an academic background, where he has done machine learning implementation work, e.g. in the neurosciences. He is responsible for the hardware and installation side, and has a detailed technical command of the system as a whole — the architecture of the latest LLM models and the innovations behind them, agent technology, and how IT systems can be used securely and efficiently for AI inference.
juhani@enlightenedbits.comHow we got here
We met at Aalto University and kept coming back to the same idea: Finland has extreme talent density, and it can, should and will be a leader in intelligent systems. Finnish organisations shouldn't have to hand their most important work to someone else's cloud.
We started out building intelligent systems on organisations' own servers. In marine logistics that matters more than almost anywhere: the data is confidential, ships are often on a thin connection, and every hour waiting in port costs money. So that is where we now focus.
