About
Nice to meet ya!
My name is
Hene
This is my little corner of the internet where I explore the fascinating world of web development, frontend technologies, patterns, and accessibility.
I like to think this website is more than just a blog; it‘s my digital journal where I share insights, discoveries, and the occasional “aha” moments on the journey to become a more proficient developer. I believe in keeping things real and down-to-earth, so expect a mix of personal experiences, industry trends, and anything that sparks my curiosity.
A little bit about me
Who am I exactly?
Great question! Lately, I‘ve been wearing many hats, including Software Developer. But above all, I‘m passionate about web development, especially frontend, UI design and UX, but also DevOps, integrations and API development.
While studying electrical engineering from 2015 to 2019, I took a few computer science courses. That‘s when I first felt the spark for the field, although I also enjoyed the realm of electrical engineering. Fast forward to 2021, I was doing alright in my career, working as a project manager for an electrical contracting company. However, during the pandemic, I somehow grew fed up with that gig.
So, I made a decision to reignite my passion for computer science and pursue a career in that field. I studied after work in the evenings at the Open University of the University of Helsinki, eventually earning a permanent study right in 2022.
Luckily (and perhaps fueled by ambition) in January 2023, I landed my first software development job in the department of computer science within the University of Helsinki, in a development team led by one of our esteemed computer science professors. In this position I have become the lead developer of a high profile project that is also in the midst of being taken to use by two other universities in Finland reaching over 100 000 active users.
I‘ve finished my BsC in Computer Science in 2024 taking 18 months to do so. Regardless my time in field is rather short, do not be fooled. I‘ve been able to make a significant impact in the projects I‘ve been involved in and now I would like to share some of my knowledge and experiences with you. And to get a excuse to learn more and to keep up with the ever changing field.
