I am a software generalist with 20+ years of professional experience and a deep specialization in the Microsoft technology platform. I have extensive experience in fields like development, code auditing, architectural transformation and technology strategy.

I am also known as a public speaker, particularly in Microsoft-related events. Developing the local tech community is one of my passions - I have founded and ran the Finnish .NET User Group SANKO since 2010. Finnish listeners can also hear me out on our regular Microsoft-focused podcast, Ikkunastudio.

I work as the CEO of Offbeat Solutions, a software company I founded with my wife and some friends. Our specialty is rescuing failed projects, but we help our customers with all sorts of tech challenges - adopting new technologies, coaching floundering teams or facilitating cross-tech projects are all routine for us. Quite obviously, Azure and other cloud services are pretty much what drives us these days.

Talk to me about: Cloud Computing, Microservices, Software Development, Azure, PaaS, .NET, Visual Studio
