New Blood at Hakatemia

The Hakatemia team just got stronger, as Tuomas Lintula joins Teo and Walentin as the third member of the crew. 🎉

Tuomas is a career switcher who’s long been drawn to cybersecurity, technology, and all things computer-related. But he didn’t stop at dreaming – he traded in his plumber’s overalls for a keyboard, and now works full-time in cybersecurity at DNV Cyber (formerly Nixu). By day, he secures systems; by night, he roleplays as a spider — crawling the web in true hacker fashion.

With several years of experience in penetration testing and cybersecurity consulting under his belt, Tuomas brings both technical skill and curiosity to the table. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Information Technology and has grown through multiple roles at Nixu, from trainee to specialist. Both Teo and Walentin have worked with Tuomas before, so team synergy is already a given.

Tuomas has already jumped in headfirst at Hakatemia — his fingerprints are all over our new challenges and the OSINT course. Best of all, he’s living proof that changing careers is possible when passion meets perseverance.

Welcome aboard, Tuomas! 🚀
