Jussi Kukkonen’s Summary
I am a software developer by trade, GIS guy by education and a free software hacker by heart.
My professional experience includes Software Development on Debian, maemo and Windows platforms and a wide variety of Geographical Information Systems projects. I cannot call myself a "guru" on any specific technology, but I've found that the range of platforms, development environments and other technologies I am familiar with and my ability to absorb new technologies are very good.
Currently I develop free software at Intel Open Source Technology Center. My plans include graduation from Helsinki University of Technology in the near future. I'm also involved with the Geoclue project (see links).
