Greetings!

I'm a positive and hard-working soon to be ICT engineer from Finland who is passionately interested in software development and artificial intelligence.

I've always loved tinkering with different software and devices. However, my current coding journey began in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic was raging. I stumbled upon some C# tutorials online and made my first 'Hello World' program. After that I was hooked!

I went on to study Information and Communication Technology at Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences. This is my final year and I am going to graduate by 2025.

In the near future, I see myself working as a software developer specialized in Full Stack, backend, or embedded programming. I do enjoy adventuring in the user interface world, but I would say my main interest resides more in building robust and scalable systems that power applications and move data around behind the scenes.

Me as An Employee

I absolute love learning new skills and improving myself by solving complex technical challenges. Apart from the fact that I have always been interested in technology, this is one the reasons why I find ICT industry so attractive; There are endless amounts of skills to learn and problems to solve!

In addition to coding, I expand my professional knowledge in my spare time by consuming books, blog posts, podcasts and presentations about recent developments in the field or topics I am currently trying to master. Why do I like learning so much? As a great quote from David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Ruby on Rails says, "It's more fun to be competent". Even though I'm just starting out my IT career, I definitely agree with the sentiment.

I am team player and a good spirit within the team is a very important factor for me in a workplace. I strive to fulfill my responsibilities in such a manner that I can be proud of my accomplishments and helpful to my teammates. I am also not afraid to take on tasks with extra responsibilities, and in recent times, I have also put more effort in pushing myself out of my comfort zone so that I can improve in things that are not necessarily my speciality.

My mother language is Finnish and I can understand spoken and written English fluently, while writing well too. My spoken english is also good enough so teamwork and customer interactions in an international environment are not a problem.

Hobbies

The video games have been close to my heart since I was a child, and they will continue to do so even today. Gaming is a way for me to relax and break away from everyday life, and I also like to keep up with the latest rendering techniques and other tricks used in game development.

And of course, like I mentioned previously, I like to spent my time in programming related activities outside of work too. Besides software, I am similarly interested in hardware. I play around with various devices such as Raspberry Pi and old laptops to learn more about them.

In the summer, I often play frisbee golf with friends and family. I enjoy the sport because it is rather relaxing and I get to be in the middle of nature at the same time.

Other types of exercise and outdoor activities are also just as important to me, so that I can keep my body healthy and my mind fresh. I like to go to gym and also regularly do some cardio exercises to get my blood rushing. I also enjoy jogging or just walking in the forest or by the lake.

Of course, most of my free time is being spent with my lovely family. There is nothing better than playing around with my son!
