I'm Tommi R., an Information Technology Engineer from Tampere, a hungry and highly motivated professional with solid industry experience, currently available on the open market. My previous roles have included FrontEnd / UX / UI design and implementation for websites, as well as software development.
Most recently, I worked a software developer, where my responsibilities included Full Stack development for customer projects and creating HTML element prototypes as part of the UX/UI team.
Prior to this, I have 20 years of professional experience in UX/UI design, working under titles such as Concept Designer and Web Designer. In these roles, I was independently responsible for the design and implementation of websites as well as their visual identity and graphic appearance.
In interface design, my top priorities are usability and clarity, ensuring that users can logically and easily find what they are looking for, while still maintaining a pleasant and visually appealing design.
I have continuously developed my professional expertise through both formal training and self-directed learning in areas such as FrontEnd / UX / UI, software development, integrations, cloud services, and data science.
My skill set includes ChatGPT / OpenAI, HTMX, CSS / JavaScript–based web motion techniques, Figma, Angular, Tailwind CSS, and Svelte. In addition, I have completed the University of Helsinki’s Elements of AI online course, and I am proficient in the data visualization tool Tableau. I have also developed a strong interest in AI-generated art, producing content such as videos, audio, and images using various tools.
I have further expanded my expertise in data science through the Python for Data Science course, where I processed and analyzed real-world datasets using Python, Pandas, and Jupyter Notebook. I have also familiarized myself with Microsoft’s Azure AI ecosystem through the Microsoft Learn Challenge: Build AI apps with Microsoft Azure services. Most recently, I have gained experience in AI-assisted software development, using tools such as ChatGPT for prompt engineering, Google AI Studio (Gemini) for application development, and Vercel for build, deployment, and application hosting. And addition to the AI-assisted software development, I updated UI for my portfolio site (this one) using Stitch, AI design tool from Google.
