Who am I?

Hello, I am Janne Jalkanen, and this site is my web log (see the BloggerCode for me).

I currently work as a Chief Engineer at SOK, a part of the S-group. However, I am writing as a private person, and nothing written on this blog should be considered an official opinion of the company. I represent myself, not the corporation. (And please don't bother them about me, either. ;-)

Bio

Janne is a tinkerer, dreamer, dad and a hardcore geek. He has worked in the past from industries big and small: from a Virtual Reality researcher to testing code for spacecrafts; from doing corporate strategy to Nokia to being the CTO of an internet start-up. Janne is sometimes referred as the godfather of Near Field Communications for his role in driving the technology into the Nokia portfolio and in standardization. Janne is also a member of the Apache Software Foundation, and has been managing open source projects on and off for the past ten years. On his spare time he's a dad to two children, and enjoys playing go and role playing games, reading, and driving a bicycle.
