I've been so far active in different teams and in different roles, including as a release manager, architect, team lead, scrum master, and software engineer.

This included doing technical work related to designing and implementing innovative solutions in this space, driving technical & research direction of the team, managing engineers and master thesis students, representing Nokia in the EU FP7 project Sensei on sensors and actuators as well as other project and external collaborations; and of course doing publications and IPR.
