Otto Piispanen, web developer.
Hello there! I am a web developer from Finland.
I am currently employed at Wisenetwork Oy as a Lead Front-End developer. I work with technologies such as VueJS, Ionic, CSS, PHP, and MySQL, so I'm technically a full-stack developer, but my passion on Front-End has pushed me to build internal tools and educate my co-workers on Front-End technologies. In my personal projects, including this site, I frequently use VueJS, Nuxt and NodeJS.
My passion for coding was ignited by video games and my goal of becoming a game developer. Although I eventually took a different career path, game development was a formative part of my journey as a developer.
I think learning to code by creating games teaches you everything you need to know about programming. Especially things like handling data in real time and asynchronous nature of modern apps. It also makes you think about optimization and performance. That is why I created a basic game engine with JS and Three.js for my bachelors thesis.
