About me
Project Manager and XR/AI specialist with over 25 years of experience in 2D/3D graphics, interactive technologies, gaming and entertainment, and more recent experience leading EU-funded development projects at HAMK.
My current work combines project management, technology development, industry collaboration, and practical experimentation. I work with companies and project partners to identify where emerging technologies can create real value – from XR-based training and visualization to AI-assisted workflows, simulation, and new forms of human-computer interaction.
My particular expertise is in XR, real-time 3D, AI, and game-engine technologies. I no longer see XR and AI as separate technologies: the interesting opportunities increasingly emerge where they overlap. XR provides the spatial and interactive environment, while AI can bring intelligence, adaptability, natural interaction, and new ways of working into that environment. The combination is often greater than the sum of its parts.
At HAMK, I work especially with EU-funded projects focused on digitalization, smart design, XR, simulation, and emerging technologies, connecting project objectives with practical industry use cases and technology demonstrations.
My background is strongly rooted in visual design and 3D graphics, with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from Lahti University of Applied Sciences. Over the years, I have worked across creative, technical, commercial, and project-management roles, giving me a broad perspective on taking ideas from concept to practical implementation.
