years old
Got interested in graphic design and made my first creations for a CoD MW2 clan I was a part of. Mainly old school YouTube background banners and profile pictures for Steam.
Graduated high school and had no idea where I would end up. Knew I wanted to design and hone my skills
Served a 6 month military service in Niinisalo.
Started media engineering (ICT) studies at Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences.
Began internship at indie game dev company Zaibatsu Interactive Oy. Worked in graphic design and programming duties. Made game objects, fleshed out game concept ideas, created user interfaces and worked with JavaScript, Vue, React and TypeScript. Also tested a bunch of games, gave feedback and looked for bugs.
Finished internship at Zaibatsu with valuable experiences gained. Improved massively at JS concepts, learned TypeScript, grasped OOP better and grew as a 3D-modeller. I value the fact I got to try on so many different types of hats and give my best shot at different types of work.
Graduated from Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences as a media engineer. My dad passed away suddenly and life got confusing and shaken up. Meditated and read books to get perspective. I learned to value honesty and being more open.
Started work at Into-Digital doing web development with WordPress.
Struggled to keep up with constant changes and trying to make sure I did good enough work. Finding one's place in the company culture seems to take time.
Getting closer to a year at Into. Signs of growth are definitely there and confidence with WordPress and Javascript has grown nicely. 🍃
