I am an 35-yo aspiring software craftsman and an alpha geek working as a Senior Software Consultant / Architect for Futurice Oy. I am also the CEO of my own company Codemancers Oy.


My main work description is delivering awesome software to our customers but I also do a lot of community engagement work in different areas around the mobile world. I also act as a career coach / mentor to some of the guys at our Tampere-office and in my spare time volunteer in a mentoring program for international students in Tampere-area.

I am a Certified Scrum Product Owner, Certified Scrum Master, Nokia Developer Champion, Qt Ambassador, Nokia Qt Certified Specialist, Nokia Qt Certified Developer, ISEB ISTQB Foundation level certified tester and more...


I have 13 years of professional software development experience in various areas. I am interested in and work with all the relevant mobile smartphone platforms and write software for them. Usually when there is a new platform I am there looking and trying it out on day 1. That goes for all the current mobile platforms like Windows Phone, iOS, Android and BlackBerry 10 and Ubuntu Touch (also upcoming SailfishOS). I usually start writing code on them when the first tools come out.

Currently my main focus is on Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 but I am also looking into Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Mobile and BlackBerry 10.

For the recent few years I have also worked quite extensively with Qt and Qt Quick on old Nokia platforms: MeeGo Harmattan and Symbian. Before that I worked with Qt on the desktop. But I also have worked with Android and iOS on the side.

In my spare time I like to also volunteer on all kinds of community events. I am organizing the Tampere Windows and Windows Phone Developer group and was a member of the board in Devaamo Ry.


Oh, and I was a candidate for Tampere City council in the last elections.
