I was first introduced to electronics in 2010, while working as a web front-end developer and studying physics in Taltech. However, I didn’t become a physicist, instead continued to learn about electronics on my own, and I found programming for microcontrollers more interesting than web development.
The Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) has trusted me with teaching tasks: since 2016, I have been teaching the course “Arduino for beginners”, which gives basic knowledge about electronics and programming; and since 2017 I have been instructing the “Tangible design” course for interaction design master’s students.
In 2017-2019, after launching Kriimsilm Tehnoloogiad OÜ I acquired my first experience as a microcontroller programmer, for actual electronics products, under the supervision of Protoskoop OÜ.
Then I took a break from electronics during 2019-2020, working as a software developer and analyst at hugo.legal, where I got to build chatbots and automate data streams.
In 2021 I was employed as a developer in a transportation robot project at Taltech. My task was to program computer vision and movement of the robot relying on ROS tools. In 2021-22 I also participated in a research-development project in EKA, that developed bio based textile materials by means of electrospinning.
I am currently an instructor in the prototyping lab of the Estonian Academy of Arts.
I established Kriimsilm Tehnoloogiad to use my skills in hardware projects – programming microcontrollers, electronics and mechanical engineering.
In January 2026 I graduated Taltech’s and EKA’s joint master degree program “Design and Technology Futures”. My master thesis was about design for disability, an assistive device for a wheelchair user, to ease transfer from a car seat to the wheelchair.
