My journey in technology started already in kindergarten. During that time, I remember wanting to build a tree-house. I had several of them. I remember how much fun it was to use a hammer and nails.

In my teenage years, I have memories that I will never forget. I always loved playing video games, especially the Grand Theft Auto series. My favorite game was San Andreas, where I enjoyed driving around and performing amazing stunts. For example, jumping from an airplane and landing on a dam, or riding a motorbike off the cliff of a mountain and landing smoothly with a parachute.

One of my proudest memories from my teenage years was when I built a sub-woofer system under the bench of my Yamaha Aerox 06. Oh boy, she was so nice and beautiful.

After completing the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, I enrolled at Aalto University School of Automation and Electrical Engineering.

I chose it because of my interest in electricity and a genuine desire to create products that help people. After all, people are electromagnetic structures, etc.




The above picture is from Aalto's Product Development Project demo day, where our team decided to focus on future solutions for pedagogical methods aimed at medical school students. I came up with the idea of using a laser cutter to depict the human arm with the help of LED strips.

Another noteworthy project was my startup, Anspirit, which I initiated during my studies. The original idea was to create a home AI that controls every device in a smart home.

In 2015, I was also the fortunate winner of a ticket to the Slush startup event. I designed the Future Electroradar for Nokia's career fair competition.




I have so many memories from my early age, so in the end, I would like to combine my thoughts in one small quote: 'Success is a product of a series of small wins.'

Finally, I present the right formula of life. Happy new week everyone!
