Sini started working at twoday in the autumn of 2017 (twoday was then called Visma Consulting). Her work consists of diverse software development tasks, with a focus on the front-end side.

Sini's work includes designing the features and the overall package of the service to be developed together with the customer as well as the implementation and testing of the planned functionalities together with the rest of twoday product development team.

Sini has become familiar with the development of services and systems for different kinds of customers. In her work, she enjoys most of all how diversely she develops herself and how separate pieces and ideas can be used to build and create a new product or service that works in the desired way.

“It’s really nice to see how the experience gained from different projects adds to the feeling of success at work.”

In addition to her IT-BBA degree, she has also completed degrees in classical singing and pop singing. The next step would be a classical D-level singing examination.

From the school choir to a soprano

Sini was in music class throughout elementary school, and as her schooling was nearing its end, she decided that music would remain a part of her life. Since then, she has been taking singing lessons and has experience in both classical music and pop music.

Even Sini, who has a vocal range of roughly four octaves, says that she is veritably “omnivorous” when it comes to the genres of the songs she sings. Different genres appeal to her for very different reasons, and she does not want to name just one artist as her favourite. 

"A song may have, for example, a rhythm, a beautiful melody or words that make it pleasant to sing."

Veritable multi-talent

When it comes to hobbies, Sini lists several artistic skills, handicraft skills and various leisure activities; knitting, sewing, making jewellery, painting, drawing and 3D modelling. She has also dabbled in playing the ukulele and the piano. She may even do a little zumba if she feels in the mood for a dance workout!

Being handy, Sini has made furniture for herself, and she has made use of the renovation skills she learned in her youth from her father in her present home when working on her own projects.

“In my house, there’s a small studio space taking shape where I can record my own projects and experimentations.”

Sini is boldly experimenting with new hobbies and in doing so has found many that she enjoys. For some hobbies, her motivation comes and goes with the seasons, but she has always reserved time and energy for singing.

We asked Sini's friend to describe her, and the answer was pure praise for Sini, which she undoubtedly deserves! As a friend and colleague, she is reliable and empathetic. Working with Sini is smooth, like a beautiful aria.
