Codesta -
After the mandatory military service in Finland, I got an internship opportunity to learn programming from the founder of a company that focused on manufacturing execution systems. The founder had a background in computer science, Nokia, and was a lecturer at the University of Tampere, which gave me a solid grounding in computer science. I studied for a vocational qualification in software development during this time. From there, I worked for small software development agencies, some technology startups, and a few Fortune 500s, which gave me a wide view of how the IT industry operates vertically and horizontally. I founded Codesta for myself so that I could work on interesting projects with interesting people, and it turned out other people had similar interests and we grew from there organically.
