With over 20 years of experience in the industrial and construction sectors, I decided to follow my true passion and began studying software development at Forssan ammatti-instituutti in 2023. After two years of dedicated learning, I graduated in spring 2025 and am now excited to start a new career at the age of 43. I'm especially interested in the game industry, but I approach all kinds of programming tasks with equal enthusiasm. While I don’t yet have formal work experience in the IT field, I’ve gained valuable hands-on skills through two internships and several school projects.
