    Bio

    Web development is my passion, but I don’t want to focus solely on the technical side. Learning and improving soft skills is equally important to me. As one of my previous employers’ slogans puts it: developing software, developing people.

    Currently, I work at Valu Digital, a leading modern WordPress company in Finland, as a senior developer with a focus on AI integration in WordPress.

    Interests

    – AI
    – Music

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started out working with our company’s own CMS, but over time we transitioned to WordPress as our primary CMS solution at Valu Digital. Today, we’re leading the Finnish WordPress scene with a focus on modern WordPress and AI solutions.
