Here you'll find some info about me, Kenneth "Kenda" Levänen. In Swedish, Finnish, and English. I'm a senior web developer at Evermade in Helsinki. On my spare time I organize WordPress meetups or spend time at our summer house in Porvoo.

Some of my personal projects

• Stentroll (Stone trolls)
  Every now and then I need a break from everyday family life. One activity I tend to do is build trolls out of stones.
• Worms Armageddon: Emsalö
  Worms is a game I played a lot in the 90s - and now again with my kids. I made us a custom map containing many familiar places on the Emsalö island in Porvoo where we have a cottage.
• Mosaic 48×48
  I built brick mosaic paintings of our kids during my Summer vacation in 2021.
• Matalavaroituskyltti (Shallow water warning)
  I made this traffic sign to warn of shallow water to all sauna guests at our summer cottage. Finnish radio station Yle X3M wrote an article about it back in 2016.
• In addition to the 4 mentioned above, I have also done other fun projects. Here's a few (links to Instagram).
  • Lighthouse garden decorations with Ikea lamps.
  • Scarecrow Pelle Spök.
  • Robot-Ragnar of scrap metal.
  • Pirate ship for kids.
  • A basketball garden game.
  • Skating rink in the yard because the sea rarely freezes over.
• KenComix
  My website since 2003 containing my comic strips.
• Timelapse calculator
  I bought a timelapse camera in 2016. It was hard to calculate what settings to use, so I built this tool.
• Tools
  A small collection of tiny tools I've built during my years as a web developer.
• Tekstarimoka.com
  People used to send a lot of SMS messages in 2010 when I built this site. It was very popular for a couple of years (not so much content, but a lot of visitors). The site is now closed, but all the messages are archived on a long single page for your pleasure.
• Svenskfinland pratar finska (SFPF.fi)
  One Friday evening in November 2019 my finno-swedish friend posted a story on Facebook about how she said something in Finnish that could be misinterpreted in a funny way. Two hours later I published this site about us finno-swedes speaking Finnish. The site is now closed, but the few stories I received are archived on a single page for your pleasure.
