Greetings! My name's Matias.
Creating things is my thing. I've built software professionally for roughly a decade. I've been working at Valuemotive for the majority of that time. Besides tech, I love music. I used to make shoegaze and experimental loop-based music as Butsku — these days I play bass in Paimentolaiselämä. Above all, I am a father to a wonderful baby boy!
I write in-depth articles about tech, travel and other interests of mine. For lighter content, there's the journal.
You can reach me at hello@matiasklemola.com, or on Twitter.
