About Me

I'm a thirty-something year old computational physicist turned programmer, living in Helsinki, Finland.

My programming days started when working as a computational physicist, researching nuclear reactor materials. After that I worked for a while as a game programmer before finding my current role, as a software engineer in the space industry.

My main interests in the game industry are gameplay, engine and graphics programming, but I'm also interested in the design and narrative aspect of games. I get my biggest kicks in work from solving hard problems.

Besides all that, I'm a dude who likes to play games, go to the gym, and socialize. I also have a healthy obsession with kitchen gardening and baking bread. Oh, and did I tell you I have a dream of founding a winery and writing a book?

Programming Languages: C++, Python, C#, Bash, Fortran.

Tools: Linux, Git, CI/CD, Docker Engine, CMake, Unity, Unreal Engine, OpenGL/WebGL
