Hello / Tervetuloa.
I'm Arttu Nikkilä. Nice to meet you.
In my current role as a developer I adapt to a wide range of situations deeply in the client interface, balancing technical expertise with customer-facing responsibilities in the field of eCommerce. I'm based in Jyväskylä, Finland.
Alongside work, I'm also studying towards a Master's Degree in Educational Technology at the University of Jyväskylä.
Outside of work and studies, I spend my time on a mix of things: from running to reading and DJ'ing.
That was my elevator pitch. This website, however, is my personal website which is both a display of my skills and a playground for me to test and play around different things related to web development. Feel free to check out my projects, read about my experience, or explore the blog. Enjoy your stay!
Och samma på finska och svenska.
– Arttu :)
