Howdy!
This is Rauno Villberg, writing to you from the past.
But you are reading it right now.
I've been getting paid to develop software since 2013.
Mostly native Android & iOS apps. Sometimes games!
Startups, scaleups, corpos; agencies & product companies.
It's cool! Exciting! I'm grateful to have found a profession I genuinely enjoy.
You get to solve puzzles and get paid for it? What'll they think of next??
In my spare time, you'll find me in my hometown of Tallinn, Estonia; or more likely: out riding my bicycle(s).
... or watching pro cycling.
... or recovering from those bike rides :)
Reach out on LinkedIn if you're a professional.
