When he is not exploring the cave cities of Georgia or running with bulls in Pamplona, Bergie works on web services built on top of the Midgard toolkit. His company Nemein provides web solutions for several major companies in Finland and abroad.
After half decade of regular web development, Henri got involved with free software in 1999 when he coordinated the public release of the Midgard content management system.
