Kristiina Rönnberg
konecranes

In a field where continuous learning is almost vital, I have been lucky to get to work with the latest technologies and experienced colleagues. In my role at Konecranes I get to work in an international environment and develop solutions which bring the benefits of industrial internet to the everyday lives of our customers. The technology palette we use is rich, and the development methods have become even more agile – the contents covered by this course are also present in our work.

elisa

I work at Elisa as a software developer and study IT at Aalto University. I am at the end of my studies, and will soon begin my thesis. I have also completed courses and worked here at the same time. I ended up at Elisa because of a recommendation from a friend, he told me, that this is a good company to work for and urged me to apply.

smartly_io

I’m working as a software developer at Smartly.io, building our image and video templating tools and creating a beautiful and powerful experience for designers who make visual media. Our team works with JavaScript, React, and Node.js. From the first moment, I loved the culture at Smartly.io especially our value of being Humble Hungry Hunters. We have no egos here, and we’re humble.
