Personal Information

My full name is Jouko Ilmari Kuisma, born 31st October 1976 in Helsinki. Ever since then I've lived in Espoo, the second largest city in Finland and the western neighbour of Helsinki.

I graduated from high school (Haukilahti, Espoo) in 1995. In 1998 I began my studies in the Faculty of Arts at the
University of Helsinki. My major was Human Language Technology at the Department of General Linguistics. It took me whole 8 years to graduate - well, I had a full time job as well. Finally graduated as a Master of Arts in 2006.

During my senior year in high school, in 1994, we established a company with a few friends of mine. Ananda Communications Oy specialized in client-server based groupware and collaboration systems. I've been in business since then. My professional profile is in LinkedIn, here.

I live in Tuomarila, Espoo with my wife and our daughter Emilia, born in 2005. In addition to my cars, our house is a never ending source of all sorts of repair and improvement projects.
