Hi, I'm Aks (Akseli Lahtinen) from Finland! I'm KDE dev by day and a hobbyist gamedev/FOSS-dev by night. I like metal, industrial and EBM music, and I love FPS, RPG and spacesim games. I also love tinkering with Linux systems.

Welcome! This is where you can find my most up-to-date writings. Divided into two sections. 1) Cogito: a diary and 2) IOKTIKN: a collection of standalone essays and short stories.

From time to time I blog about things I find interesting or which I do not want to forget about.

I’m a design leader and creative technologist. I write about design process, web standards, art, technology, comic books, video games or whatever else captures my interest, often accompanied by original illustrations and/or bespoke art direction.

I’m a software engineer. In my free time I write code, a blog, fiction, and build a programming language.
