My biography resembles a labyrinth. It all began when Fermat’s last theorem caught my attention, leaving me amazed and pondering the thought processes of mathematicians. This fascination drove me to pursue mathematics at university, where I developed a passion for logic.

Following this, I delved into the depths of human behavior, culminating in the successful submission of my PhD thesis in this field. As the era of artificial intelligence and vastly increasing computing power emerged, I transitioned into roles as a Data Scientist and subsequently a Software Engineer.

However, amidst the pandemic, I discovered a whole new world: the Crypto World. Since then, I have been unable to let go of this topic, as it encompasses human psychology, history, monetary systems, technology, and philosophy. I was absolutely mind-blown and am eager to share this fascination with the world.

I'm currently the Lead Software Engineer for UpCloud's Managed Kubernetes service (UKS). I have a passion for tackling complex problems in order to make life simpler for users. At the moment, that takes the form of leveraging Kubernetes controllers and operators in globally distributed environments. Kubernetes is a fantastic platform, but I feel it is our job as engineers to take that next step, and building abstractions on top of it to simplify the setup for our end users.

I have a diverse technical background, ranging from electrical engineering, abstract mathematics, and regulated medical devices and systems. I love finding that magical moment in software design when abstract concepts become reality through implementation. In my free time, I am often building hobby programming languages, compilers, and operating systems.

I am originally from the US, but have lived in Helsinki, Finland for the past 11 years with my wife and 4 year old son. We love being out in nature, and travelling the world together. Cooking allows us to re-live those experiences and is something we find ourselves looking forwards to.
