R&D
I got my education in engineering at the Helsinki University of Technology and a minor in Internationational Business Design Management at the Helsinki University of industrial arts and Helsinki University of Business administration. These universities are now combined to Aalto university. During my studies and after, I worked at Suunto in several roles on Sports watches (GPS, Altimeter, Compass, Barometer, HR) and dive computers. After moving to Colorado, I was lucky to find a job as category director for Backcountry Access, working on snow safety products and finally at Trango climbing. You can see some of the products I have worked on in the picture carousel. I also have done contracting as an engineer for several companies.
So I am bonified geek and nerd when it comes to outdoor gear; I hope I can put that nerdiness to your benefit!
