My CV, as told by my blog
Kokeilin, millaisen ansioluettelon Claude-tekoäly kirjoittaa pelkästään tämän blogin perusteella, ilman LinkedIniä tai vanhoja CV:itä. Lähteinä oli kaikki blogikirjoitukset vuodesta 2003 alkaen. Lopputulos osui yllättävän hyvin kohdalleen, vaikka muutama päivämäärä heittääkin. Tässä se on sellaisenaan (englanniksi).Uusin työpaikkani Gapps lokakuusta 2026 ei ole ilmeisesti vielä blogissani.
Huom. Tämä on blogin perusteella koottu kokeilu, ei virallinen ansioluetteloni. Ajantasaiset tiedot löytyvät LinkedIn-profiilistani.
