Finished my studies at University of Jyväskylä (MSc, Econ.) in 2016. With information system sciences as my major, I have strong interest in human-computer interaction, usability evaluation and user experience, their relation to technology acceptance, and how this can be used to maximize efficiency and further technological progress in an organization. Working with people and understanding the way human cognition works when using technology is what motivates me. Human interaction is one of my strongest competencies and I always want to make myself understood, which is especially important when operating in multicultural environments.
