I started at Nokia in 2004 to develop serious games for mobile devices. These games usually had a multiuser aspect in them and they used contextual computing to make those services more interesting. This position was a part-time trainee position in Nokia Research Center's unit focusing on high-school collaboration, and ended in 2006.

I rejoined the same unit in 2007 as an instructor for students. I mentored and managed projects students were working, conducted my own research work and build collaboration relations within Nokia. Some of the projects I worked on included mobile education, sensor technologies development and social media services, both for mobile and for the desktop. Our ways of working focused on developing prototypes and due to most of the workforce in unit being high-school students, mentoring and education was an important aspect of every day work. I resigned in 2011.

Since 2010 I helped Nokia's social relations team in child online safety, including own research, review and examination of existing research and commenting on policy documents. This collaboration has continued even after my resignation, as Nokia asked me to join a research project in this area.

I've worked in HIIT during summers 2009 and 2010 as research assistant. I'm currently conducting my non-military service in HIIT.

My work include programming research prototypes of mobile services and developing methods for large scale data processing. I've also participated in the adoption of real-time technologies in HIIT and examined the limits of web technologies.

In more research side, I've been involved in study of playfullness and gamification, use of social media services - especially from social networks point of view. My personal focus has been in the political use of the Internet, such as e-participation.

Teacher assistance in basic level programming courses at the Aalto University. The courses were held in Java and later Python and the work included mentoring students, grading project assigments and helding exercise groups. Based on my idea, the programming courses held first official exercise sessions over IRC.

In University of Helsinki, I TAed social science IT courses, such as statistical computing (SPSS) and web publishing. I will also TA in course on Human Computer Interaction.

I studied at the University of Helsinki Faculty of Social Sciences, where I majored in political science. Especially my focus was in political institutions, new forms of participation and research methodologies.
My thesis focused in the evolution of online participation of ten non-govermental organizations.
Read my thesis in Finnish.

I studied at the University of Helsinki, Faculty of Social Science. My major was political science and two minors, one in computer science and the other in statistics.
My thesis focused in the goverment officials' views on e-participation and was later published in Hallinnon Tutkimus, a Finnish journal for administration research.
Read my original thesis and the rewritten journal paper, both in Finnish.

To further my studies in computing, I'm currently studying for Bacherlor's degree in computer science. I study at the University of Helsinki, Faculty of Science.
