About

I'm Aku, a Finnish professional keyboard-presser currently living ing Atlanta, GA.

Born in 1993, I've always had an interest and aptitude towards working with computers and technology in general. After high school (and finnish military service) I started in Aalto University, completing my Bachelors in Information Technology, after which I completed my Masters degree in Computer Science, specializing in Web Development.

During and after my studies I've worked in various technical roles from full stack web developer to project engineer handling larger software and hardware deliveries. Most of my career thus far has been spent working on client projects, but I would not mind getting my feet wet with product development in future. If you want more details you can check my skill set on the right and my career timeline below.

Outside work I spend my time enjoying Atlantas outdoor activities, playing video games and enjoying good food. I also used to travel a lot with my wife before the pandemic and getting our first dog, and I've been to many countries all over the world.
