Welcome Dmitri and Risto!

We have completed our technical team with a couple of great talents during the winter months. Mr. Dmitri Akhonen started at us as a Software Engineer and Mr. Risto Hyypiö as a Principal R&D Engineer. They both bring along fresh ideas and strengthen the company's know-how.

Dmitri has a B.Sc. degree in Automation Engineering. He has gathered experience by working with industrial hardware and test automation systems in different fields of technology. Dmitri has an important role in the software development of our products and related applications. If you don't find him in the lab, he's in the kitchen getting angry at an empty coffee pot.

Risto has a M.Sc in Electronics and more than 15 years of design experience in various types of electronic gadgets including optoelectronic devices, high-speed electronics, and even consumer products. Over the past five years, Risto has focused more on optoelectronic system design, single-photon counting technology, optics, and optomechanics. Risto likes to act as a glue between the customer, R&D team, and marketing.

Welcome to the Timegate team, Dmitri and Risto!
