Team Introduction
We are a team of highly motivated engineering students from JAMK with drastically varying personal backgrounds when it comes to previous working experiences on the field and personal interests. Significant efforts have been made to ensure that each member of the Mysticons team can contribute as much as they are willing to and that everyone feels like an important part of the team.
After getting to know each other, we decided to form two teams: Open source & Palo Alto oriented team. Members were distributed to teams based on their personal interests, previous experience and our assignment’s needs. This approach ensured that no ‘expert’ is able to ‘steal’ WIMMA Lab from other members.
