Jani Suoranta
Software Developer with UI focus, LeanWeb
Discrete Manufacturing, Espoo
- Who are you?
I’m a 27-year-old front-end developer with a special interest in user experience. I first started at Roima’s Tampere office, but now my new location is Espoo, as I moved to the nearby village of Klaukkala in the beginning of March. - Why Roima?
An ex-colleague tipped me off to the open position on LinkedIn. I did some research and felt that the vibe was my style and the position seemed challenging enough with space to grow, so here I am. I’m looking forward to learning more about the LeanWeb team’s stack, as now I mostly know CSS and React, as well as to meeting and getting to know new people in and outside the workplace. As an open-minded “live life to the fullest” type of guy, I’m also looking forward to combining remote work and traveling. - Where might we find you after work?
You may find me hanging out with my friends having a coffee or playing board games. Sometimes after work, you can find me lifting weights and pushing myself at the gym or running, but most often I do that already before coming to work. Spitting on the mic, sometimes freestyle rapping or singing and writing lyrics are also ways for me to enjoy my time off work. Music is a good friend of mine, so dancing is also very much my thing, and I’m currently looking for some street dance courses to join in the Helsinki metropolitan area. - How would you describe Roima in one word?
Ambitious.
Lauri Häkämies
Junior IT Specialist
Tech, Espoo
- Who are you?
I’m Lauri Häkämies, 23 years old and pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business Information Technology, with a special interest in Cyber Security. I am currently working at Roima as Junior IT Specialist at the Espoo office. I live in the town of Kauniainen in the Helsinki metropolitan area with my fiancée and two dogs. - Why Roima?
I found Roima through LinkedIn while just scrolling my feed. I saw the open position and was instantly intrigued. I was looking for new challenges in my career and decided to send an application, and well… here I am. I am expecting to deepen my skills in the field of IT here at Roima and, at the same time, to face many interesting and challenging tasks. - Where might we find you after work?
After work, you might find me in the nature exploring with my dogs or, in the summer, playing football. I also like traveling, so you might find me exploring some foreign countries. - How would you describe Roima in one word?
Innovative.
Jonna Orava
MES Specialist
Process Industries, Espoo and remotely from Kittilä
- Who are you?
I’m a 33-year-old, curious-minded engineer. Before jumping into the field of software, I worked as a quality engineer in the food industry, but as a fun fact, I also used to be a dairy farmer years ago. - Why Roima?
A former study colleague of mine gave me a tip about open positions at Roima. After the interviews, I got a strong feeling that Roima would be a good fit to what I’m looking for as a next step in my career. Roima offers opportunities to develop one’s own skills, and I think that’s super cool. - Where might we find you after work?
When I close my laptop, I mostly go outdoors. I have a loved and cute pony that I like to spend time with. Also, I like to practice different kinds of sports and activities during my free time; you can find me either at the gym, doing yoga – or outdoors trekking, skiing, cycling, or just breathing in some fresh air out in the nature. - How would you describe Roima in one word?
Professional.
Linh Nguyen
Software Developer
Logistics and Retail, Espoo
- Who are you?
I am a 24-year-old software developer originally from Vietnam. I came to Finland in 2015 and studied Energy and Environmental Engineering at Tampere University of Applied Sciences. In 2020, I switched my career to software development, as I discovered that I have a huge interest in programming and computer science. At the moment, I am pursuing my Master’s degree in Machine Learning, Data Science and AI at Aalto University. - Why Roima?
I found out about Roima on LinkedIn while I was looking for a new destination for my career path. During the interview process, I was inspired by the motivation and the great attitude from the leaders, which made me decide to join the team without hesitation. - Where might we find you after work?
I spend my time after work for exercises and my hobbies, such as games and music. On weekends, you could find me baking my favorite cakes, getting together with my loved ones, or playing my ukulele. - How would you describe Roima in one word?
Growing.
Petra Saloranta
People Partner
HR, Turku
- Who are you?
I am a 26-year-old Master of Science in Economics from Turku School of Economics, where I studied management and organization as well as adult education and corporate law. During my studies, I gained work experience as an HR assistant and HR expert. At Roima, I work as a People Partner in our small but efficient HR team. My responsibilities focus on the development side, such as recruitment, onboarding and offboarding, Talent management, etc. - Why Roima?
After graduation, I wanted to focus more on the development side of HR, and Roima’s People Partner position immediately caught my attention. Roima offered me a great place in the early stages of my career to grow into a professional and develop my own skills in exactly those areas that I am very interested in. As an employer, Roima offers a low-hierarchy and growing organization where employees are valued. And that’s exactly what I wanted from my employer! - Where might we find you after work?
You might find me jogging or swimming. I love active activities and sports, so often after work I still need to do something that raises my heart rate. In the summer, you will very certainly find me on the golf course, as I got excited about golf with a few former colleagues of mine last summer, and our enthusiasm doesn’t seem to be waning this summer either. - How would you describe Roima in one word?
Encouraging.
On behalf of all of us at Roima, a warm welcome aboard, everyone! We are very happy and proud that you have chosen Roima and look forward to a long future of working together!
