Guests
Henrik Aalto is a data science generalist with a background in systems analysis and operations research. He works in the intersection of technology and business and loves creating data-driven solutions to complex problems. Despite his passion for AI, sometimes he thinks a simple BI-report will do all that’s needed. In his spare time, he likes to keep it simple - cook from season’s veggies and do mostly outdoor sports that fit the weather.
Hosts
Anna Fröblom is a great programmer, problem-solver, hobby photographer, lego enthusiast, and simply a nice person.
Esko Lahti is an engineer who now works in the company that got him into Clojure. Now, his party trick at meetups is to rapid-fire through an extensive list of parentheses jokes.
