Interests

I am highly interested in programming and various application and game solutions. Through programming, I can create innovative and user-friendly applications that improve people's lives in many ways. Game development, on the other hand, offers the opportunity to combine creativity and technical skills into a fascinating and entertaining whole.

The possibilities brought by artificial intelligence are also close to my heart. AI can revolutionize many fields and enhance processes, making them more efficient and intelligent. With it, we can solve complex problems and create unprecedented innovations.

Cybersecurity and ethical hacking are crucial topics in today's world, where digital security is more important than ever. I am keen to learn how to protect systems and data from malicious attacks and how to use ethical hacking to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they cause harm.

All these fields offer me the opportunity to develop my skills and learn new things, and I am eager to continue working and exploring them. I enjoy gaming, literature, and collecting CDs. I also practice historical fencing and serve as the vice-chairman of Savon-Miekka ry. Additionally, I cycle to work year-round. During the summer, I like jogging and foraging for berries and mushrooms in the forest.

Recently, I have also been involved as a member of the election committee for the presidential and European Parliament elections.
