Meet Mika Valkama, our newVisual CommunicationSpecialist Greetings, Mika Valkama here. I started as aVisual Communication Specialist in Octoberand will be working on quite a few graphicalthings you’ll come across from us, fromdiagrams in documentation and label layoutsto marketing materials both printed anddigital.

Over a decade of my background was with"that large mobile phone manufacturer" inEspoo, mostly involved in mobile webservices and marketing. I moved back to ourfamily farm in South Ostrobothnia someyears ago and tried dipping my toes into thestartup world.

Geeky hobbies fill up free time: games indifferent forms, anime and occasionalartistry with an airbrush or camera. Whenout in the big blue room, I can often befound at the range competing or organizingcompetitions in various disciplines.

I'm working to ramp upModel Based Design at Epec usingMatlab/Simulink tools, so we can betterserve our customers in their moredemanding control system needs.I have previously been working withembedded software development and digitalsignal processing with Nokia, Accenture andlastly ABB. Matlab has been an importanttool in all of these tasks, so working withModel Based Design at Epec is a naturalcontinuation. I'm excited to be working withthese modern software development tools,spending more time solving the actualcontrol problem and less with debugginghand written code with man made errors.I'm originally from Tampere, but moved toSeinäjoki with my family last summer.Outside office hours, you might find meflying radio-controlled model airplanes atKurjenneva - airfield.
