Toni Alho

I am Azure-oriented and certified Solution Consultant (read as Cloud Consultant), currently working in Modernization Advisory team at Tietoevry.

I could describe myself as a keen observer of everything more or less surrounding, also willing to have an impact on people and societies. My ultimate ambition is to understand the world in its various ways and to create something great into it. I regard myself as practical problem solver, often aiming to grasp the big picture and act on it. My professional interests lie especially on cloud and other (future) technologies as a tool and as an agent transforming the world. In practice, I tend to find myself in between tech and business.

In my free time I tend to read, do photography, cook and enjoy new tastes. I get excited of about everything new and I'm always ready to take part in many kinds of projects. Feel free to ask more about me!
