About Me

I got my PhD in Computer Science from Aalto University in 2025 with research focus on intelligent agents, deep reinforcement learning and game engines. I mostly used tools like Carla, Unity, Unity-mlagents, PyTorch, Tensorflow, Ray (+ RLlib), Kubernetes and a bit of OAI 6G core network in my day-to-day work.

I got my Master’s degree in Computer Science from Aalto University in 2019, with Game Design as my minor. My studies have revolved heavily around programming, while also going deep in to the theory of many areas in Data Science.

My main interests are Game Development, Programming, Graphics, Performance, AI, Deep Learning, Educational Platforms and Finance (stocks, investing).

During my years of paid job(s) in the University, I have also gained a lot of experience with Educational Platforms, in terms of creating complex and automatic grading systems for programming courses. All of my courses have been using the modern open source platform A+, which is quite fun to develop with.

I enjoy solving logical problems, which makes programming perfect for me. It is not enough to write code that “works”, I find joy in figuring out more elegant, faster, modular and easily understandable solutions to problems. I like to learn how things work by creating them from scratch, without using plugins created by others. This is visible in practically all of my portfolio projects (although most of my projects from 2020-2025 themselves are not public/visible in my portfolio).

All these things keep me on an evergoing quest to learn more, which is also the reason why I rarely give up when facing difficult problems.
