Jukka-Pekka Keisala

Me

My name is Jukka-Pekka Keisala (JP), I am 32 years old technologist and designer from Finland. I am currently living in Barcelona, Spain Copenhagen, Denmark, (I am back in Barcelona ufff… lets just say in EU) with my wife Diana and my lovely little daughter Greta.

Daily work

In short: I build interweb, well not the whole thing but I am leading development in Addition Consulting. Mainly, I’m working with CMS-systems; actually Sitecore CMS to be precise. I work mostly with the large and mid-size companies that are based here in Copenhagen by building solutions to a customer using Microsoft .NET technology. I have been also working with f-e-w PHP based Content Management Systems as a freelancer. Right now I am looking Ruby On Rails and trying to decide whether it is really worth of learning it or not. Update: I am now fully back on Microsoft camp , cool new stuff like Silverlight and Orcas made me stay.

Available for Freelancing

I am also available for Freelancing if you need experienced CMS+XSL+Frontend guy for interesting project just drop me a line. I am developing open-source and standards-based technologies in freelance based.

My name

My full name is Jukka-Pekka Keisala but everyone calls me JP. Jukka-Pekka is a very Finnish name and therefore it is sometimes a bit hard to pronounce by non-Finnish speakers, hence JP. English form of Jukka-Pekka would be John-Peter, in France Jean-Pierre or in Spain Juan-Pedro. My last name Keisala doesn’t really mean anything that I know, it’s just a normal Finnish surname.

I study (read google-it) some genealogy and found out that I belong to Pennala-family tree from Töysä, Finland. Along ~70000 other lucky ones I am one of descendants of Olavi Tuomaanpoika Pennainen (1670-1758) and his wife Kaisa Yrjöntytär Härkölä (1677-1744).
