Continuous development keeps the work interesting
Janne’s favourite part of his job has always been the variety of projects and overcoming challenges. Progress in the field has been rapid and each project has its own joys and challenges. However, each project ends with a sense of accomplishment when the customer’s vision has been turned into a reality.
