I'm an Engineer with ~5 years C# experience. I have a keen interest in most things technical. I like to learn and because of that tend to pick things up quite fast. Currently doing freelance work for a few companies and looking to make contacts with others and see if there's anything else interesting out there. Also looking at bidding on smaller govt projects soon if anyone fancies teaming up.

About me:

I have a B.Sc. from the University of British Columbia. My major was computer science.

I am a recent graduate/entry level/junior candidate. I have taken some time off since graduating to help with a family health issue, but have used the opportunity to improve my skills both professionally and in my hobbies.

I have made code available for both personal and school projects on my website.

I'm a self-learned(/ing) young hacker, who is looking for a junior/entry level software developer position. I don't have any relevant experience or degree, and while I have some knowledge of several technologies, you should assume I'm starting with a blank slate; nothing but a strong desire to learn.

I have practised programming with several languages - Javascript (/HTML/CSS), Python, PHP, Common Lisp, and a little Java - as well as having basic understanding of Git, Apache, and MySql. I'm sure I'll be able to pick up whatever language/stack you use very quickly.

I'm not too picky about what to work with, as long as it provides a change to learn about different technologies and industry practices. That said, my main interest is in web development, and I would particularly like to work with natural language processing. I'm hoping to one day found a start-up, making software for writers and publishers.

I speak Finnish natively. My written English is fluent and spoken is good, although perhaps a little underpractised.

I currently live in Finland, but I wish to relocate to a foreign country. I'm looking for a chance to learn a new language while working there, so I would prefer a non-English speaking one. The top countries would be Sweden (Stockholm), Germany (Berlin) or Iceland, but the country is not the most important factor. For the nearby nations - Sweden, Estonia, etc. - a face-to-face interview would be possible, especially if the company can compensate travel expenses, but otherwise I think a video call would be most practical.

I don't want remote work, because I wish to get feedback on my work, as well as having a chance talk with other developer. My main interest is after all learning new things.

Send me an email if you think you could use me at your company, or if you want to ask about something.
