Hi!
My name is Rasmus Ähtävä. I'm working on lightfriend.ai and masters cs in school as a slight inconvenience. I have also competed in nordic combined my whole life up to this point, but now my knee is seriously injured and have to find new challenges elsewhere.
Long term I want to help people get to mars.
My best in nordic combined:
- 3rd place in World University Games 2023 10km gundersen
- 1 world cup point(40th place) in Ruka 2023
My best in school:
- Graduated this summer 2025 with Bachelors degree in Computer Science from Tampere University(thesis here ). Kinda proud I managed to do this because I'm not the biggest fan of the school system.
My best in programming:
What am I doing now? (updated 7.08.25)
- building AI assistant for dumbphones lightfriend.ai
- doing sports as frequently as my injured knee can handle(cartilage damage)
- starting masters in Computer Science this fall
- looking for a job on the side
My fav content:
- lex fridman podcast (interesting people)
- hackernews (always something interesting)
- X(twitter) (daily feed of e/acc)
- paul graham's blog (makes me feel less alien)
