I grew up moving between Swedish and Finnish, and ended up fluent in both plus English somewhere along the way. I also grew up in front of a camera, in a sense. I started a YouTube channel when I was 10 yo, vlogging my weekly life in middle school, like Casey Neistat, (minus the budget.)
I have always been interested in computers. That naturally turned into me streaming once I hit high school. Fortnite was exploding at the time (2017), and I was going almost DAILY, in Swedish. It picked up more traction than I expected. Streaming faded out a few years later, and I mostly just gamed with friends after that, with the occasional stream here and there on Twitch or YT.
The urge to build and put things online never really left, though. It resurfaced as small marketing side projects, which eventually turned into a real business. I started a social media marketing agency selling to clients during gymnasium (Finland's version of high school). It went well enough that I did a small exit after crossing five figures in revenue after a year or so.
After my final exams I did my mandatory military service, which teaches you a lot about staying calm when things don't go to plan.
Coming out the other side, I started experimenting seriously with AI, early to tools like Lovable and Claude (Dec 2024), and increasingly pulled in by what large language models could actually do. That interest hasn't slowed down since.
Not long after, I started studying information systems in the economics faculty at Åbo Akademi in Turku, and it didn't take long before I wanted to build something there too.
ÅAES
In March 2026 I co-founded ÅAES (Åbo Akademi Entrepreneurship Society) and became its president, a student community for anyone in Turku who wants to build something, regardless of what they're studying. We went from an idea to a few hundred members and our first events faster than I expected. Here's our website: www.aaes.fi
What I'm doing now
Alongside ÅAES, I'm building something new. Not ready to talk about it publicly yet. If you're curious, meet me in person and ask.
