Builder, advisor and hands-on technology lead.

Early to mid 1990s

I started building software on home computers and early PCs: Commodore 64, Amiga 500, MS-DOS and Windows. When the web arrived, that work moved into early websites and services, including a Finnish movie database built long before modern publishing tools made that easy.

• Built software before the web became mainstream.
• Moved from standalone software into early web products.

Early 2000s

I created a social platform for Finnish college students years before Facebook became part of everyday life. At its peak it served more than 5,000 daily users with chat, profiles, image sharing and community features. Around the same time, I helped build the mobile department of the Finnish-Chinese startup Unique United.

• Built a student community with real daily use.
• Expanded from web software into mobile, product growth and team building.

Mid 2000s

At Nokia I often worked between management, engineering and customers. The role combined customer dialogue, technical planning and product work across web, mobile, NFC and RFID-related solutions.

• Connected business needs with engineering decisions.
• Worked with mobile services and connected-device technologies.

Late 2000s

After Nokia I started my own consultancy business. The work soon moved toward pharma and wellbeing, where technology choices have to support quality, trust and domain understanding.

Early 2010s

I co-founded Syntax Error in mobile games and Fishare, a mobile and web service for fishermen. This was also when Business Finland-backed work became a more regular part of my projects.

• Explored both entertainment and service products.
• Built early experience in public innovation funding.

Mid 2010s

My consultancy company merged with a creative agency to form Make Helsinki. The work broadened from software delivery into technology, UI, UX and design. We worked in pharma and clinical-trial contexts, but also in FMCG, sustainability, gaming and construction. Around the same time, we started building early VR prototypes and working with IBM Watson AI.

• Combined engineering with design and UX capability.
• Worked across regulated and non-regulated industries.

Late 2010s

Business Finland-funded work continued, the pharma focus grew stronger and VR, AR and new devices became part of the daily work. During this period I also co-authored a scientific article on measuring tremor with consumer-device accelerometers.

• Balanced regulated health delivery with new interfaces and devices.
• Brought scientific and clinical thinking into software work.

Early 2020s

Make Helsinki was acquired by Healthware, which made the work more international and opened more room for AI, VR and other new platform projects. I led work on a VR-based digital therapeutic that moved onto a validated medical-device path, and I helped customers understand and adopt AI in practical ways.

• Led a VR therapeutic where immersive design, clinical logic and regulated delivery had to work together.
• Helped customers use AI responsibly and usefully.

Mid 2020s

When Healthware was acquired by EVERSANA, the international context grew again. The Finnish team became known for AI, spatial and new platform work, while I kept building hands-on capability through 3D-printing ecommerce, live AI concepts and independent products such as KisaPlay.

• Kept advisory work connected to actual building.
• Used side projects to stay close to new tools, platforms and customer behaviour.

Late 2020s and onward

The pattern has stayed the same: learn new technology by using it. Right now that means testing AI tools and models, trying AR glasses, building prototypes and separating what is useful today from what may matter later.
