Meet the nerd

Meet the nerd.

We know I enjoy helping solve IT problems for people, but what else?

Finland became my new forever home in 2005 when I moved here with my family, and my first few years here were actually spent as a classroom assistant in daycare! I am actually formally trained as Youth and Community worker, so I am something of a rarity in the IT community.

My two favourite way to recharge are playing guitar, and working out in the gym. These are great ways to mentally reset myself after focussing on IT tasks.

The guitar is something I have enjoyed since I was around 16 years old, and recently I’ve added singing to the mix too. This photo was taken during an Open Mic event at the Lazy Fox (IG) in Helsinki.

Since a lot of my work is sedentary, I’ve found that working out helps keep the aches and pains away.

What I really appreciate, is that these three things combined engage all the parts of my person. I am stimulated intellectually, creatively, and physically.

And you know what they say?

Happy computer guy, happy computer. 🙂
