Until December 2006 I worked at the Information Technology Research Institute in the University of Jyväskylä, in a project called Adaptive Services Grid (ASG). The mission of the project is to combine two IT- worlds such as Semantic Web Services and Grid Computing by an open generic software platform for adaptive services discovery, creation, composition and enactment to offer new applications on “Grid Services” with well-defined range on quality of service. The project is supported by the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Commission. Before coming to ITRI I worked for a short time at Metso Paper in Jyväskylä, where my work concerned developing the production of structured documentation for large paper machines.
During the years 1996-2002 I did research related to structured SGML/XML documents at the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems in the University of Jyväskylä. The work was related to my Licentiate Thesis, which was published by University of Jyväskylä in December 2003. The title of the Thesis is 'Enhancing the Usability of Document Databases in e-Government'.
During the years 2000-2002 I worked in a project called inSGML, which developed, tested and customized methods for the SGML/XML standardization process especially for industrial purposes. Other participants of the project included major Finnish enterprises like Metso and Nokia.
During the years 1998-2000 I worked in a project called EULEGIS, which was developing a unified interface for different legal databases in the Internet. Before that I worked in RASKE project, which developed means and methods for deployment of structured SGML documents in major Finnish public sector organisations. RASKE was a joint project, whose participants included Parliament of Finland, and ministries of the Finnish government.

I enjoy doing all kinds of sports. I like jogging (there are great tracks here in Jyväskylä), cycling, swimming and skiing, and spend some time in the gym weekly. I also like travelling, reading and going to the movies every now and then.
