The beginning

This is a brief glimpse into my life with technology. I was born in 1958, eleven years after the invention of the transistor. As a result, I never had to deal with thermionic tubes, which were too hot, power-hungry, and dangerous. My father gifted me a Philips Electronic Engineer kit for Christmas when I was ten, and I was able to build all of the circuits in just three days. Even the radio receivers worked on the first try - it was like magic! 

I have great respect for the engineers at Philips who created such a remarkable, pedagogically savvy, and well-engineered kit. The documentation was excellent and engaging, making it easy for me to learn the basics. From then on, I knew what I wanted to do as a profession. Thanks to my father (and Philips), I became obsessed with understanding how circuits and transistors work. I found great satisfaction in building "stationary" circuits on real homemade printed circuit boards, and I read every book on electronics that I could find. It was like learning a new language, and I even used my mother's nail polish for PCB etching!

Thesis

My belief and approach towards achieving success in life are based on a thesis that involves nurturing a creative mind, maintaining an inquisitive and childlike curiosity, and persistently striving to comprehend everything that is beyond your understanding. Additionally, with a strong passion for the subject, this journey becomes gratifying and fulfilling.

My late father (1914-1994) was a renowned composer, arranger, conductor, musician, and pianist. He advised both my brother and me against pursuing music as a career. While my brother disregarded his advice, I heeded it.

I was born in May of 1958 in Helsinki, Finland. While my interests gravitated away from traditional creative pursuits, I found myself drawn to the realm of electronics, which I suppose has made me somewhat of an "electronics composer".
