I'm an IT professional who usually ends up around an event, a camera or a sound system in my free time. When I run into a new problem, I start investigating, experimenting and learning.
Have an interesting project in mind? I'd like to get involved when the work and my skills are a good match.
Backstage, behind a broadcast, and wherever the next pair of hands is needed.
My first time managing a main stage
Electric Sunsets by Genelec
I worked as the main stage manager at Electric Sunsets by Genelec in Kuopio Harbour. I built and prepared the DJ setup and helped with artist changeovers and practical troubleshooting. This was my first event in a stage manager role.
The weekend also brought a last-minute technical problem: an artist's USB playlists did not display correctly on the new players. Teamwork, a rekordbox update and a compatible USB library resolved the issue just before the set.
I have helped deliver paid livestream productions for clients with Savon Diginatiivit. My work has covered cameras, audio, broadcasting, technical operations and practical arrangements.
Travelling with Henrik Väki's band, I have worked as a driver, roadie, video and still photographer, or technician as needed. My video follows my first trip with the band.

You don't have to know everything in advance. I'm at my best in situations where I need to investigate, experiment and learn something new. I'm not afraid to take on unfamiliar technologies and turn them into working solutions.
Right now
Work, a young company, gigs and a steady dose of learning something new.
I co-founded Bounce Solutions Oy with the other founders in February 2026. I serve as CEO, but in practice I do a bit of everything.
The young company is developing IT services for business customers. Our current hands-on work focuses on DJ services and PA hire, and we have delivered events such as company parties. We are continuing to develop the business and its services.
I've travelled with Henrik Väki's band for about ten gigs. Depending on what is needed, I've worked as a driver, roadie, video and still photographer, or technician – basically wherever the next pair of hands is needed.
I have worked as an IT Designer at Ylä-Savo Vocational College since July 2023.
Mondi Powerflute
I worked on a fixed-term contract as an IT specialist at Mondi Powerflute in Kuopio from summer 2022 until July 2023.
Kaisanet and Data-Enter
I worked as an IT specialist at Kaisanet from January 2018 to January 2022. After Kaisanet acquired Data-Enter, my work continued at Data-Enter until summer 2022.
Savon Diginatiivit ry
I have been a member of Savon Diginatiivit ry since 2016. I have helped deliver paid livestream productions for clients, working across cameras, audio, broadcasting, technical operations and practical arrangements. Graphics have been handled by others.
At the association's food pop-ups, I've occasionally swapped the technical kit for an apron and cooked things like smash burgers and Neapolitan-style pizza.
I helped organise every Gyostage LAN event. My main responsibilities included the CS:GO tournaments and maintenance of the game and event servers.
The LAN events went on hiatus with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Graduating as an ICT technician
I graduated as an ICT technician from Ylä-Savo Vocational College. That same year, I worked as an IT specialist at Kaisanet from May to October.
Shall we make something happen?
If your project needs IT skills, event technology or a practical pair of hands in production, tell me about it. I'm also interested in work that gives me something new to learn.
A few lines are enough to start: what you are working on, when and where, and what you need help with. Email is the surest way to reach me.
