Who is he?

You can find all the work-related details on the other pages, so here’s something different — a peek into who I am outside of code. Also featuring a couple of rare photos from across the timeline of Arttu™.

🎧 Hobbies & Interests

I have a lot of hobbies. The latest is DJ'ing — I picked it up in March 2025, so I'm still learning, but it's a great way to get into flow and disconnect from daily noise. I'm slowly building a library focused on DnB and psytrance.

During summer, I enjoy magnet fishing. It’s like a low-effort treasure hunt — surprisingly fun with friends on a sunny day.

I love books, movies, and shows — mostly sci-fi, thrillers, and anime. I also play guitar, not as actively these days, but it's still there when the mood hits.

I also do hiking, puzzles, jogging - you name it. It's hard to find time to do everything, but I enjoy a lot of things.

🧠 Tech & Tinkering

I started coding young — back when table layouts ruled the web and websites had flashing marquee tags. My first sites were in pure HTML & CSS, and I made simple games with CoolBasic. I'm kind of sad that none of these survived the time and are now all gone.

I'm fascinated by the history of tech. Why did VHS beat Betamax? What caused the downfall of Symbian? These stories are like little windows into how people and systems work — and either succeed or fail.

I’ve used different OS's, run a home Linux server, and started way too many side projects I never finished. They are mostly based on a humorous idea and when the idea is not fun anymore, the project gets shelved.

🧭 What I Value

I believe in curiosity, weird ideas, and learning by doing. I enjoy figuring out how things work — not just in tech, but in people, systems, and stories.

I like people who are genuinely into things — whether it’s tech, insects, jazz, or potato taxonomy. Passion is cool, whatever form it takes.
