Teaching

See my personnel page for a list of my current and past teaching.

Research

I am part of the Empirical Software Engineering group. I am working currently on software architecture topics.

Interests

My main interests are in the area of Software Architecture (architecture and design, programming languages) and Software Engineering (quality, testing, performance engineering). My deepest speciality is in the area of programming languages and language processors. I am also interested in computer games and simulation. As a hobby, I spend time with flying and driving simulators. I also like reading and spending time outdoors, in the nature.

Short biography

Industrial experience

• 2009 - 2012: Principal Architect at Nokia and Accenture Services. I worked mainly on Symbian System Architecture Blueprints and the related Architecture Intent with the special responsibility on user data and content management architecture and its evolution for Symbian smartphones.
• 2006 - 2009: Technology Manager at Nokia. I worked on configurability and variability of the software assets for Symbian-based smartphones and developed related tools and processes.
• 1999 - 2006: Senior Research Engineer at Nokia. I worked as a project manager and researcher in projects on software architecture process, modeling, analysis, and documentation.

Academic experience

• 2012 - University Lecturer at University of Helskinki
• 2002 - 2004: Professor and Lecturer (part-time) at University of Helsinki. I taught the `Software Architectures' course and supervised master’s thesis.
• 1992 - 1999: Researcher and teacher at University of Helsinki. Various research, teaching, and development tasks in the areas of programming languages, visual programming, compilers, data base application re-engineering, and software engineering.
