I’m a Code Artisan 😎 at Valve One and these days most of my work focuses on HubSpot-related projects. In a hurry? Check the "mobile" version.

My first website (built in 1997) was a fan page for The Notorious B.I.G.and I hosted it on Angelfire. Too bad no copy of the site has survived. It included MIDI samples and 10-second WAV clips .
I spend my free time with my wife Suvi and our two sons Wilhard and Iivari Viikari. If my TV is on, I’m probably watching The Bold and the Beautiful* (I’ve been watching it since it first aired in Finland in 1992).
This year I’ve read 90 books (23 913 pages) and last year I read 76 books (24 554 pages). I read them on my Kobo Libra Colour. I’m currently reading Dead and Alive (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, #3) by Dean Koontz and just finished City of Night (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, #2) by Dean Koontz, which I rated 5/5.Before that: Prodigal Son (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, #1) by Dean Koontz (5/5), The Bad Place by Dean Koontz (5/5), Lightning by Dean Koontz (5/5), and Midnight by Dean Koontz (5/5).
And of course I always have my side projects CSSline and Bad Boy Forever running in the background.
Client work samples aren’t on here. NDAs tend to get in the way.
