 Background information
 
 I'm 49, and I work as a product owner at HERE Technologies.
		In the past I have worked at the Department of Electronics at Tampere University of Technology.
		I graduated and got my Master's degree in October 2001 and I 
		defended my Doctor's thesis in 2009. 
		My area of research was 
		intelligent environments and 
		eHomes. I work with electronics, computer hardware and mobile systems, and this is rather closely related to my hobbies. 
		In my spare time I mess around with computers 		and other kinds of electronics 
		and hardware. Time permitting I also play badminton, tennis, fly drones, listen 
to music, watch sci-fi or build 
		plastic models / wooden ships.
 
 In 2001 I met a little girl called Pim, in Bangkok Thailand. After three years of long-range dating and travelling we finally
		tied the knot in 2004.
		Now we both live in Tampere in our little home.
 
 In 2012 our family grew larger by a little boy baby, 
		 Kirin
 
 In 2015 he got a little brother, Kent.

 Current Activities:
 I've been playing a lot of StarSiege:Tribes (since March 1999) online. 
		It's a great FPS game, and a lot of fun! 
 		I'm a member of the clan Drunken Old Farts	 	 	,[dof], and you can find me playing as [dof]Laza. I have also participated in the European Tribes League
		and The Ladder.
 
 I'm also active in Battlefield 4/1/V, stats can be viewed in
		Battlelog.
