Technical skills

Partly due to my background as a trainer at Tieturi and partly out of personal interest I consider myself having a very broad knowledge of many different programming languages and technologies. I consider it one of my strengths to explain technical issues to non-technical people, like a customer or manager, and to see wholes and purposes arising out of technical details. Conversely, having worked as a manager my strongest asset has been my deep understanding of the technical details of the projects I'm managing.
