Petri Asikainen is a seasoned System Specialist with over two decades of hands-on IT experience and eight years focused in his current role managing infrastructure for a large educational organization in Pori, Finland. He designs and maintains hybrid environments—servers, networks, Azure, Intune and Google for Education—while building practical solutions like a Power BI reporting platform and Power Automate flows that streamline day-to-day operations for thousands of users. A pragmatic full-stack contributor to open source (notably improving API and image handling in the popular Snipe-IT asset management project), he blends system administration, automation and web development (SharePoint, Drupal, Moodle) with a serious focus on cybersecurity using Microsoft 365 Defender. Colleagues value his people-first approach and international collaboration experience; less obvious is his background in CNC machining and animation, which explains his methodical problem-solving and attention to tooling and workflows.
