== About me ==

I'm an UNIX administrator working now fulltime for the Computing Centre of Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) in Finland. Current work involves administering ~300 Hardy workstations and some Tru64-UNIX servers and clusters. When not working, I'm trying to finish my master's degree (major: semiconductors and materials of electronics), other hobbies include singing in a mixed choir and various sports (ultimate, floorball, soccer)

I've been using Linux since 1998; first briefly SuSE, then Debian unstable until in November 2004 I had to reinstall my laptop and decided to try Ubuntu because of the Debian heritage. Now my home computer runs Dapper, and some/most of my friends have installed Ubuntu as well and are very pleased.

== Skills ==

 * General UNIX-administration, mostly Linux and Tru64 UNIX (+Trucluster)
 * shell & some perl, other languages read-only for now
 * deb-packaging (in-house packages for Ansys, Maple, Mathematica, Matlab and others...)

== What I'm interested in ==

 * GNOME, in general
 * NFSv4 support. Essential for installations behind insecure networks
 * making sure that Ubuntu behaves well in a campus network with hundreds of clients
 * improving the framework for automatic installations
 * improving various tools aimed at system administrators
 * VDR
 * X.org
