Toni Lähdekorpi
Software Designer
Personal Information
I'm Toni Lähdekorpi, a young married IT professional, currently working as a software designer at Scaip Oy and as a freelancer developing websites under the name Lygon Software.
I use most of my time creating websites, maintaining Linux servers, installing/fixing/hacking computers and other gadgets, coding (mostly web-related), CAD & 3D modeling, designing graphics and translating open source projects, like the Ubuntu operating system.
For some balance to all this and to keep my mind clear, I also practice the Japanese martial art of Aikido.
And as weird as it may sound, most of these just for fun...
I'm currently living in the quiet town of Pori, Finland. I've lived for almost 7 years in Fuengirola, Spain and for a while in Oslo, Norway.
I'm also currently available for freelance work, just email me and ask for more information.
