Pekka Nikander
I am a software architect and lead programmer with
over 30 years of industry experience,
with an inkling for embedded and things. Since summer 2017, I’ve had
the pleasure of enjoying
academic freedom at
Aalto University.
My focus is in understanding how distributed ledger technologies (aka
blockchains) can be used to build non-rival and anti-rival
compensation methods, leading us to a post-capitalistic world.
I prefer e-mail for communication, and don’t answer to cold phone
calls. I don’t follow social media.

I’ve pretty much stopped updating this web site. Google knows
my latest things better than I know my pockets.
Please note that many links below are broken, due to my previous web
site provider trashing my site and not having time to fish the content
back.
