 | Jussi Roine | MVP | North Advisors | FinlandBorn in ’77, I was drawn to computers at the ripe age of 5 when my parents brought home a VIC-20 home computer. I became a programmer at the same ripe age of 5 when I could type 10 PRINT “MY NAME IS JUSSI.” If we discard my questionable past working with Unix and Linux systems, I’ve worked for multiple Microsoft Partner companies since 1990. For the past decade or so, I worked at the company I co-founded, and in late 2019 I joined Microsoft as an Azure Developer Audience Lead. It was fun, but I’m better at building something from scratch – and now I run our new company, North Advisors, that focuses on Azure and Power Platform consulting and support. |
