I am a 25-year-old from Oulu with a strong passion for programming. My social skills and ability to listen help me understand people's needs and turn them into working digital solutions.
I am a diligent builder who sees projects through to completion. I am self-taught and have worked with React, React Native, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Java — with React and React Native at the center of my focus.
In my free time I listen to music, play games, and create my own music. Below is one of my tracks on SoundCloud.
