About me

Since 2012 I've been involved in the development of DIY small scale biogas. I'm since 2009 into physical computing (later IOT) using Arduinos and later ESPs or RaspberryPis to read sensor data, collect and store data or make things do things. I'm using it for example to read temperature data of my biogas plant or read soil moisture / temperature in the greenhouse.

I grab whatever I can on the net about Permaculture and love to finally be able to work on my own permaculture project.

I'm the administrator of https://permaculture-network.eu & https://permateachers.eu. By profession I am a Senior Drupal site builder with more than 15 years of experience in webdesign.

In April 2019 I finished my Sociocracy training with Sociocracy for All's Sociocracy Leadership training. 

In November 2019 I went for a Teaching Permaculture Teachers (TPT) course to Bulgaria

In November 2021 I finished the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design. All designs are available online.

From 2020 to 2022 I was the president of the Finnish Permaculture Association.
