I have had a rich and diverse professional experience primarily in ICT-related roles within the public sector and government organizations since 2004. The City of Vantaa IT Department played a pivotal role in my career growth, providing me with a platform to develop into a versatile IT professional.
During my more than 10-year tenure with the IT Department, I actively participated in decision-making processes and witnessed significant progress in my career. I began as a System Designer and gradually advanced to roles such as Team Leader and ICT Solution Expert. Alongside leading and managing teams, I actively contributed to the ICT steering group and played a key role in developing information systems and ICT processes.
Following my time at the City of Vantaa IT Department, I joined the Finnish Population Register Centre in May 2017 as a System Manager. During my tenure there, which lasted until December 2019, I successfully managed systems and ensured their smooth operation.
Currently, I am employed at the newly merged organization, Digital and Population Data Services Agency, where I hold the position of Chief IT Specialist and Group Manager. In this role, I lead our cloud team and oversee the digital transformation of cloud computing. I am actively involved in our ongoing cloud transformation initiatives and drive the adoption of a DevSecOps culture. Additionally, I am responsible for leading the modernization of our digital workstation technology as part of the Development and Information Management unit, creating a cutting-edge and efficient workplace environment.
