News: My publications list has been updated. I have also made available a tool that analyzes who, which company, and where is IETF work happening. And see the pages about my recently completed house project. And I have a new PGP key. And I am now tracking my current location on the web. I wrote some recent how-to's on Sony Ericsson P1i phone, Linux and Linksys camera, Linux and printing over network to HP Photosmart 2575, Vista and NAS howto, listening to the finnish radio stations in Linux.
I'm a 41 year old engineer from Kauniainen,
Finland. In case you didn't know, Finland is a small country (pop 5 mil) in
Northern Europe, a member of EU and one of the most technologically advanced
socities in the world - in the penetration numbers for mobile phones, the
number of Internet users, or the amount of Internet technology companies.
Not to mention that Linux was born here.
My home town Kauniainen is small (pop
8,500), quiet and beautiful town close to the metropolitan city, Helsinki.
I studied Computer Science and Industrial Economics in the
Helsinki University of Technology. I'm employed by
Ericsson, the Swedish mobile equipment manufacturer where currently I work in
research and standardization issues related to the future Internet and its use
in mobile environments.
My current main interests are in the evolution of the IP protocol,
network access authentication, mobility mechanisms, and the deployment
of 
security
mechanisms. I work in the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF), which designs and maintains the
core protocols of the Internet. I am one of the two area directors for
the Internet Area, working in the IETF's steering group, IESG. In the past I have co-chaired a
number of working groups, including EAP, EMU, and MOBIKE. I'm also one
of the authors in a number of RFCs,
including specifications for Mobile IPv6 and Diameter. In the past,
I have had various kinds of jobs. I have built network security
equipment, acted as a product manager, written a lot of C and C++
code, and hacked the Linux kernel where necessary. I've contributed
software components to Ericsson's routers, GRPS nodes, UMTS network
components, and internal software engineering tool sets. I also
program in C for fun. I did my licentiate's
thesis on formal methods and testing.
The regular information on this page includes my
contact information,
my personal and
professional interests, and my most interesting links
page. I also invite you to visit my family page to meet my wife Tarja
and my three sons Olli, Lasse, and Janne. I'm a keen photographer, so you may want to
take a look at some of the photographs I've taken
.I'm most interested in taking pictures around my family, hobbies such as
skiing or climbing, or the
wonders of nature. Not to mention the
wonders of technology.
