This is my /now page intended to keep you — and perhaps myself — in the loop with my life. I can't fathom how to pull out a list like this accurately since I'm continually changing, but let me at least provide a bird's eye on my current life activities.
Work Life
Since March 2024, I've been doing software consulting for my employer, Polar Squad. My work involves in amplifying teams with their DevOps capabilities whether they need cloud architecture, developer platforms, or high-level advisory.
In my work, I concentrate on lean software development and continuous value delivery. If those words do not mean anything to you, it's a fancy way of saying I solve business problems as efficiently as possible.
Personal Life
I'm living in Tampere, Finland, in the comfy apartment I've purchased, where there's rarely a moment when music is not playing. I'm some kind of a culture connoisseur myself, and I attend as many local music gigs as I have strength for. I like to support the local arthouse cinema and catch a film occasionally. Even though my software engineering observations are prominent in this blog, I also write music and film reviews.
Politically, I'm forever liberal and (modern) leftist with a keen eye on environmental issues. Hence, I experience great distress following our current far-right government trashing our dear society by both breaking their promises and, driving forth inequality and weakening the conditions of the working class.
I attempt to be the best ally and champion for diversity and equal rights. When I say attempt, I realise the numerous privileges given to me when I was born a white male on European soil make me insensitive to several injustices. Nevertheless, I try to fade away that shroud of privilege. Yes, I say Black Lives Matter without pitifully uttering all instead of black.
