Hey, I'm Teemu 👋

Over the years, I've gained a wealth of experiences from studying in three universities and working in more roles than I can count on one hand . Currently, I'm focused on advancing my computer science studies while building personal projects that fuel my passion for development. While also working part-time as a software developer.

As a developer, I enjoy diving straight into the heart of programming. Lately, I've been dedicating more attention to modularity and responsiveness in my projects, aiming to make them both efficient and user-friendly. I'm also eager to expand my skills in cloud technologies, mobile development and project management, gradually incorporating them into my schedule.

Work experience 👨‍💼

I was born pretty young 👶. After growing up a bit (11 years), I started my first business, which was an ice-cream shop🍦. The business was booming, but I decided to retire at the ripe age of 15 (currently, the ice cream bar is run by my little sister). In high school, me and a few friends started a clothing brand 👕, but we gave up on it due to lack of motivation and time 🕒. Between high school and university, I worked as a delivery driver 🚚 for a logistics company. After my first year in university, I got hired for a summer job by Telia. I worked as a technical specialist, fixing problems related to mostly broadband connections 🔧. After the second year of university studies, Twoday hired me as a software developer 💻. At Twoday, I have worked on and off for close to three years now, doing mostly frontend and mobile development with a bit of backend

I have also a few certificates for you to check out ;)

Education 👨‍🎓

After primary school I went to a local high school where I focused on STEM-subjects. I graduated on time with good marks. As soon as possible I started my computer science degree at the University of Lappeenranta (LUT). My main focus was on software engineering and I did quite well in my studies, achieving an above 4.1 GPA after my second year. After my second year I decided to transfer universities, and from my third year on I have studied computer science at the University of Tampere (TUNI), with the main focus still on software engineering. I did a bachelor's thesis on Microsofts AI services and their usability in software development.I also studied for a semester in South-Korea's Inha university, with a focus on on business and software development.

I created a playbook on how to work with me. It includes some of my strengths, weaknesses, principles and other neat stuff!.

Other neat stuff

I have participated in multiple hackathons (Junction, Finnish Game Jam etc.) and have even managed to win one in high school. I have also been active in organizations. I was a part of Jyväskylä's youth council, have been leading boy scout groups, and lately I was the vice president of the overalls team for our guild and currently I am working in the board of my guild as the übertutor.
