Summary

I'm an experienced Senior Frontend Developer with a demonstrated history of working in the design industry. From smaller startup and bigger government level projects, I've been able to work with clients all over the world, creating user interfaces, data visualizations and applications for them. I've managed to work, for example, on self-driving cars and renewal (digitizing) of the driving exam experience in Finland.

While I have eye for details that's needed to bring beautiful, intuitive to use interfaces to life, I also think about these things in the code. I always aim to write code that is verbose and easy to understand.

You're never too old to learn more; I usually find myself diving deep into various topics and I enjoy sharing this knowledge and my point of views to others.

Creation of multiple different applications for CES to demonstrate the future of Delphi’s self-driving cars. The car itself had a screen that showed the web application and used real-time data from the car sensors and cameras to draw road outlines, when the traffic lights change, how far the car is from car in front of it, etc. iOS and Apple Watch apps were created to send and receive notifications of possible pick-ups and then look-out for the best POIs within the route on an iPad.

Developing and renewing old driver certification systems, e.g. theory exams and driving tests, replacing paper forms and other out-dated processes. Outcome of the project was a web application to create, manage and complete theory exams and an Android application that is used on a tablet to evaluate the driver during the driving test.
