@elinaojanen
I build practical Python and Django applications from complex automation workflows.
What I'm looking for
I am a technical professional with over 20 years of experience working with automation systems, industrial processes, troubleshooting, and technical documentation. Throughout my career, I have developed strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and a practical approach to solving complex problems.
In recent years, I have expanded my expertise through software development studies and hands-on projects involving Python, Django, SQL, data processing, and AI-assisted workflows. I have built a real-world ticket sales application using Django and developed custom data transformation tools with Python.
I enjoy learning new technologies, improving processes, and finding practical solutions to challenging problems. One of my strengths is independent learning and research. I am comfortable diving into documentation, exploring new tools, and figuring things out when solutions are not immediately available.
My background combines industrial engineering experience with modern software and data skills. I am particularly interested in opportunities related to software development, technical support, data analysis, AI evaluation, automation, and customer-focused technology solutions.
I am known as a reliable, solution-oriented person who takes ownership of work, works well both independently and in teams, and enjoys continuous learning and improvement.
