Albin Weckström

I build products end-to-end. From ambiguous problem to shipped value, I thrive in chaotic environments where most engineers flounder. If everything in your company is working smoothly, I'm not the right fit—I bring order and momentum when nothing works and employees are overwhelmed.

Meet Albin

Get to know my approach to product development, team leadership, and turning chaos into clarity.

This introduction covers my journey from mechanical engineering to product development, highlighting key projects like the Fish Counter IoT system and my role in transforming chaotic environments into productive, aligned teams.

Part I

Product Builder

I build products end-to-end. From ambiguous problem to shipped value, I thrive in chaotic environments where most engineers flounder. Whether solo or assembling a team, I take full ownership—scoping, prototyping, testing and iterating until a real-world solution emerges.

Fish Counter IoT

IoT fish counter for Finnish fishermen—mechanical design, PCB layout, firmware, AWS back-end and front-end

Autonomous seal deterrent vessel

Managed €136k R&D project with acoustic deterrents on autonomous boat

Rapid prototyping

Built dozens of physical prototypes; PCB design, CNC machining, waterproofing, solar sizing, cloud integration

Part II

Conflict & Team Coaching

Great products aren't built by lone wolves; they're built by aligned teams. I know how to transform friction into clarity—by resolving conflicts, facilitating difficult conversations, and coaching teams to leverage their diverse strengths.

PDP Course Coordinator

Facilitated Aalto University's flagship nine-month course; mentored 30+ teams, scaled from 65 to 145 students

Team dynamics

Removed interpersonal friction in interdisciplinary teams, creating safe spaces for different backgrounds

Conflict resolution

Three-step empathetic process—describe objectively, explain perspective, empathize, then chart path forward

Part III

Facilitation & Presence

High-energy facilitation makes ideas tangible. I create rooms where decisions happen—whether moderating a gala for 1,500 people or designing invite-only networking events. I give teams the momentum to move.

Ted-style showcases

Hosted mid-course "Halfway show" and final gala for PDP course, annually 15 teams through public speking training together with a professional actress

Networking events

Co-founded Mix & Mingle, invite-only networking event series connecting hundreds of innovators

Public speaking

Delivered talks at trade shows; practiced with public-speaking simulator, refined voice control

Bonus Section

My Network

Through the wide range of coaching efforts in PDP, the public speaking engagements that I have done and the networking events I have hosted, one thing is clear - when you enlist me you also enlist my whole network of talent.
