#introduction
Hey everyone!

I just realized I don’t actually have an intro here, so here we go!

I’m 34 years old, I’ve got a wonderful wife, and we live in Central Finland.

I’m currently spending time at university as a form of mental health break and do IT work on the side. Both as a consultant for a healthcare-sector company and as a freelancer.

I moved to Finland in 2001 from Denmark. My mom is Finnish, my dad was Indian. So Finnish is technically my second language, but these days it’s actually my strongest one alongside English. I come from an entrepreneurial family, which probably explains why I have #ADHD and am interested in a bit of everything, but don’t really get anything done :--D

Things close to my heart include #videogames, #coffee, #fusionjazz, #musicproduction, #rhythmgames, and #coding.

I’m not exactly a great programmer. At work I focus more on digital processes, video production, occasional O365 support, and poking around in WordPress. That said, I’ve built a few smaller coding projects for myself and coworkers.

In my free time, I code a bit more seriously. I’ve made video games with friends for game jams, and I’ve built quite a lot of websites over the years, including with #11ty.

I collect vinyl and CDs. In recent years especially Casiopea and Japanese fusion jazz have really clicked with me. On the other hand... I hate the saxophone, which unfortunately rules out a lot of otherwise excellent bands.

I’ve been into specialty coffee since around 2012 and love trying new roasteries. I’ve also had the chance to roast coffee myself a couple of times. At home I’ve got a Rancilio Silvia, a couple of grinders, and about a dozen manual brewing devices (Chemex, V60, Aeropress, etc.).

My wife and I play a lot of #Overwatch together, and occasionally fun co-op games like the #Trine series. I’m also really into #FinalFantasy, #HollowKnight, #Silksong, #Horizon, #Hades, #Balatro, #BombRushCyberfunk, #OriAndTheBlindForest, and #Tetris.

I also play dance games quite actively and I’m rather good at them. I played In The Groove competitively from 2005 to 2012, and after a long break I started again in summer 2025. I’m the Finnish A-class champion of 2009.

That’s about it! If you’ve got questions, want to talk about any of this, or just feel like chatting, feel free to message me anytime!

With Japan’s traditional coffee shops that flourished in the 1980s disappearing amid specialty stores, global chains and aging owners with no successor, a younger generation in love with the older era is stepping up. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/12/japan/society/japan-kissaten-young-owners/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #cafes #socialmedia #instagram #coffee #showa

Why does one need a new #introduction when switching instances? Yes, newbie. Yes, one of the #Forkiverse guys. Don't bite our heads off pretty please with sugar on top.

My reasons for joining: what is this thing? Why does my favourite podcast podcast about it?

I welcome new views on life, the universe and everything. May ask questions. They say there are no such thing as stupid questions. I beg to differ and please feel free to judge away.

Hello 👋 After an afternoon tidying and podcast listening I've decided this forkiverse sounds like a good jumping off point to learn more about federated social media.

Generally more of a lurker than a poster, I love to learn about people riding bikes, taking walks, reading, listening, and making things in places nearby or far-flung.

Currently a coffee roaster, based in the North Carolina triangle area with my fiancee and our dog
