My History & Profile
I am 48 year old mobile engineer with game developer experience and mobile development experience spanning 12 years with several years of IT experience as well. I live in Tampere with two cats and wonderful wife.
In 1997 while I was still at school I was recruited by Nokia as an intern to work as local IT in Espoo Mäkkylä and started full time employment quickly thereafter, worked there until summer 2000 after which I requested a transfer to Tokyo to work locally as IT support, from where I did return to Finland after four months and started working again for Nokia in Espoo as System Specialist in 2001 and worked the tier 3 support until late 2003.
I moved from Hyvinkää to Tampere in December 2003 and started working at Nokia Enterprise Solutions with some of the finest engineers to create the 9500 communicator and in this project I had the responsibility of localisation integration, builds, debugging among other build team responsibilities.
I moved from build engineer duties in 2008 fully to an integrator role where I did work on the device sensor integration and such.
In 2011 Accenture acquired part of the Nokia where I worked on Nokia 808 PureView as integration tech lead. I resigned from Accenture in 2012.
I worked for 18 months with UDK starting in late 2012 on game called Demon Core which is an FPS game with stealth elements and advanced AI called Demon Core.
I started studies early 2014 on game design at Tampere University, and was certified as a Game Expert in 2015 after a year of lessons and projects, during the time we started a 3rd person game project and still work on it from time to time as a hobby.
On my freetime I am currently programming a roguelike in C# and making applications for Android.
