About

I study biomedical engineering at the University of Turku. Before that I studied computer science, worked on software integrations and spent a few years in startups.

Open to thesis and summer 2027 roles

Now

I'm doing my master's in Biomedical Engineering and Health Technology, and I'm aiming to graduate in 2027. I'm looking for two things:

  • A place to do my master's thesis, ideally at a health tech company.
  • A summer job from late May 2027, ideally at a small startup working on health or performance.

If you have something like that, my contact details are at the bottom of this page.

Background

I started with computer science and about two years of integration work. After that came startups: I co-founded a café app, chaired Turku's student startup community and worked at a health tech startup.

My own training got me interested in health data, so I switched to biomedical engineering in 2025.

Timeline

  1. 2025 to nowMSc, Biomedical Engineering and Health Technology

    University of Turku. Wearables, biosignals and machine learning for health.

  2. 2026ATK-YTP 2026

    Company partnerships and speakers for a national event for around 500 IT students.

    About two years of Azure integration work at KEHA Centre, and teaching programming as a course assistant at the university.

What I've done most

  • Partnerships and sales: cafés for Löytö, funders for Boost Turku, companies for ATK-YTP and partners for Aniva.
  • Leading a volunteer team: the eight-person Boost Turku board.
  • Building software, from integrations at KEHA Centre to my own training app, Baseline.

Outside work

Endurance sport, mostly running these days. I did an Ironman in 2025 and have done longer trail runs since. There's more on the training page. I'm also learning French and the guitar, both slowly.
