I made a visual 24-hour caffeine tracker for quickly checking how long it takes to leave my system and how that fourth latte affects my sleep.
Caffeine half-life is surprisingly long and individually variable.

Aamun epämiellyttävä uutinen...
EU päättää pian lakialoitteesta, joka pakottaa asentamaan salakuunteluun tarkoitetut salausavaimet internet-selaimiin. Tämä tarkoittaa, että kaikki tähän asti yksityinen tiedonsiirto EU-alueella tallennetaan ja tarkistetaan väärän sisällön varalta.
SoMe-viesteihin, uutisiin, deittisovelluksiin, verkkopankkeihin, kaikkiin yhteyksiin tullaan väliin kuuntelemaan ja estämään valtiolle epämieluisa kommunikaatio. Eikä asiasta paljoa ole yleistä haloota.

Mercurial Nature of AI: MAKV Research Day Keynote
I delivered the keynote speech at the University of Turku’s MAKV Departmental Research Day, presenting an ontological perspective on human–AI interaction. Drawing on work from a research paper currently under review (co-authored with Jani Koskinen and Salla Westerstrand), I explored how the semantic excellence of artificial intelligence acts as a mercurial mirror for humanity at both the individual and societal levels, and how this helps explain AI’s varying impacts.

Coffee, Genes and Gemini: Tracking Caffeine Around the Clock
Coffee is important, and the specifics of metabolism turned out to be a highly interesting rabbit hole. I wrote a 24-hour visual Caffeine Tracker using OpenCode to figure out how long caffeine stays in my system.

About me
Currently working as a Information System Architect for Research IT at university of Turku, while part-timing as a doctoral researcher.
Future Ethics Researcher
Finding things out about modern culture, ethics and technology at the Future Ethics research group, Turku School of Economics.
System Architect
Developing and consulting on new research information systems that serve people over things.
I’m interested in what we should do using technology. Both in the practical sense, of what’s the most prudent use of tech to reach real-world goals, and in the ethical sense of what’s right.
I’ve worked as a teacher, programmer, consultant, project manager, IT Architect and CTO. Currently, I’m an Information System Architect for Research IT at University of Turku. I design the technical side of research platforms, such as Flavoria, a lunch restaurant that incorporates smart scales and multi-sensory environments.
I’m a founding member of Suotava Oy (Oughtness Inc), who specialize in ethical IS consulting. I also run a small-time IT consultancy firm called eDeus, where I try to keep up with what’s new in practical web development.
That’s all, folks!
I commend you for reading this far, but do take a look at my writing on the blog section.
