About me
Hi,
So here’s me in brief:
I’m a 25 year old computer engineer from Finland. I majored in Embedded Systems and had minors in Software Engineering and Industrial Economy. I received my M.Sc. Technology from Åbo Akademi University in 2009 with distinction. See the the theses page if you are interested in reading my bachelor’s or master’s thesis.
I currently study organizational management at Åbo Akademi University for a second master’s degree (M.Sc. Economy & Business Administration). I study marketing as a minor subject.
In my spare time (when I happen to have some), I like to ride bikes – both road and mountain bikes. I also enjoy being in nature in general, especially near and on the sea.
I like tinkering with computers, both software and in hardware. In my previous work, I have been building web applications, worked on a digital video broadcasting simulator and implementing filters for digital signal processors. Check out my resumé page if you are interested in looking at my work experience.
I usually program in Ruby, C, C++ or Java, depending on what I’m trying to accomplish. I also do web application programming, so I’m comfortable working with (X)HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
This blog will surely contain a lot of posts about programming and technology related issues. But most of all, it will be a place for posting random thoughts and findings from the internet. I often search the internet for solutions to problems I encounter, and by contributing with solutions I have found myself I hope to help others to avoid spending time on an already solved problem.
So, I hope you enjoy my blog and find it entertaining and useful. Don’t hesitate to comment if you have any thoughts or questions, it always feels nice to see that someone actually reads what you’re writing. And as a last note: there may come dry spells in my blogging when I feel busy with life, don’t take it personally, i haven’t forgot about you internet. You can always give me a comment and remind me of your existence to keep me blogging.
