About

I’m a software developer from Finland. High functioning teaholic.

I started programming on my teens with PHP and Java. As I was interested on Linux early on I was intrigued by the cross platform promises of Java applets. Years later I started programming in Javascript. Learning more and more about programming I was slowly absorbing functional programming and the world of lisps. Currently I work as a DevOps and program with Scheme on my free time.

I also have dipped my toe into many languages including Javascript, Common Lisp, Java, C, Clojure and Python.

I have been using Linux only on all my machines for years now. I also play Billiards and Disc Golf.
