I'm Olli Laasonen from Finland and I develop mainly Linux and Web applications, which hopefully make people's lifes easier. I started coding Web Applications in 2008 with PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, XHTML and CSS, but in 2009 I got intrested in developing desktop and mobile applications for Linux platform. My favorite language is currently Python, because it's fast to write, simple and cross-platform.

I'm currently studying for Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree in Turku University of Applied Sciences. I'm planning to specialize in Embedded Systems next year.

You can find my contact details from the bottom of page. Fastest way to contact me is usually via XMPP, but it shouldn't take too much time even, if you use email or MSN.
