Now

The Now page is a place where I share what I’m focusing on right now, in no particular order. I’ll try to keep it as up to date as possible. Inspired by Derek Sivers’ Now page project.

  • Working at Dude a founder and CTO with a customer-first approach. My daily work revolves around supporting our amazing web development team. My main focus areas are WordPress, front-end development (mostly advanced SCSS/CSS), accessibility testing, UI testing, servers, and sysop tasks (we host everything ourselves). On top of that, I handle the usual entrepreneurial stuff with passion. Since we aim for natural growth, I’m also involved in sales and marketing. Workaholic! ✋
  • I’m passionate about accessibility, inclusivity, open source, mental health, CSS, SCSS, typography, the command line, servers, and other geeky things.
  • Openso(u)rcerer, founder and developer of the popular Air-light WordPress theme. Check out the company GitHub and my personal GitHub profile – both are always up to date.
  • Writing daily, journaling in Finnish – see my Logbook.
  • Born and raised in Jyväskylä, Finland. Read more about me in Finnish here. I currently live in Jyväskylä city center with my son, daughter, and wife. It’s lovely here in the Finnish lakeland district – see for yourself.
  • Programming and using command line interface daily. I sometimes experiment with new JavaScript frameworks, Python, Lua, Rust, Go, or whatever else sparks my curiosity. I have over 700 repositories on GitHub (including private ones) and around 300 public open source projects.
  • I like running and walking. 👟 Since June 26, 2021, I’ve developed a routine of working out 4–6 times a week or covering about 30 km weekly. See more on my Strava Athlete profile.
  • I love movies. Redesigned my movie blog on September 2021. I’ve reviewed over 3,000 films and counting. I also rate on IMDb and Trakt.
  • Socially active on IRC and Mastodon. I use Mastodon as my main social media platform and host my own server. I occasionally post on Instagram but don’t use Facebook, Twitter, or WhatsApp. I rarely touch other platforms – only LinkedIn if absolutely necessary. I’d say about half my posts are in Finnish and the rest in English; on Mastodon, it’s roughly 80% English and 20% Finnish as of 2023.
  • Playing Overwatch as Qllervo. I try to fit in a session as often as I can to take my mind off things that easily stress me out.
  • Reading daily anywhere from 20 to 100 books per year, mostly non-fiction these days. Occasional progress updates at Goodreads. I use Bookshelf now.
  • Producing dreamy synthwave music on and off, depending on my free time. It’s definitely not a dead project. Check out Streetgazer on SoundCloud or Spotify.
  • Tried to write a book. Wanted to contribute more to WordPress. Committing daily. Using Neovim, WezTerm, and Arch. What else? Time flies, and the kids grow. See you later!
