Who?

I am a 27 years old software developer, part-time entrepreneur and Internet enthusiast from Finland. I've been very interested in computers and information technology for about two decades. Currently I'm in Berlin, working as a software developer at Futurice. During my personal time I also freelance in some smaller software projects through my own business, Provano Oy.

As a person I am easy-going and have good sense of humor. Good social skills, a high level of self-motivation and ability to effectively adjust myself to new situations can be regarded as my key strengths. I am a fast learner and good at solving problems. That is probably the reason why I decided to become an engineer :)
