About

I’m Arto Meriläinen, someone who used to be keenly interested in Linux kernel, embedded systems, computer vision, electronics, machine learning, brain research – and other nerdy topics. While I still find the topics interesting, I’m nowadays more involved in activities like rock climbing, running, cycling and hiking.

I don’t have any particular topic for this site/blog but I try to at least document some of my projects and experiments here. Hopefully you find something interesting or useful.

You can reach me by email (arto dot merilainen at gmail.com).
