About

I'm the kind of guy who likes to challenge himself. New things make me curious and overcoming obstacles of different kind is really enjoyable. Getting along with co-workers and friends is a thing I keep close to heart. Appriciating others well-being and having a "we" spirit is important. I am currently working as a Process Engineer (Pulp and Paper White Liquor Plant) at ANDRITZ Oy. I have finished my energy engineering bachelor studies at Jyväskylän Ammattikorkeakoulu (Polytechnic). During and after my studies I have worked in the forest industry (mainly pulp) and my job experience before my studies come from taxi driving and the military.
