ABOUT ME

I’m currently in the final year of my M.Sc. in Engineering Mathematics at Lund University (Civilingenjör), specializing in machine learning and image analysis. My studies have given me a solid foundation in mathematics and computer science at LTH, and a chance to explore advanced applications of AI during an exchange year at University of California, Davis. While there I had the chance to apply theory to practice in different ways such as building the fastest database in my class, and leading a team at Yale’s quantum computing hackathon that placed second with a novel algorithmic approach to wildfire handling. These experiences highlight my capacity to quickly grasp new ideas and translate them into real-world impact.

Outside academics, I’ve taken on quite different challenges, from leading a squad during military service to coaching, umpiring, and directing professional tennis tournaments. Through these roles, I’ve learned the value of staying calm under pressure, working with people from very different backgrounds, and balancing leadership with listening.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to bring together my technical expertise and collaborative mindset to tackle problems that matter. I’m motivated by environments where I can contribute to shared goals, keep expanding my skills, and make a meaningful impact.

Final Year & Master's Thesis

Currently in final year of my M.Sc. program in Engineering Mathematics, focusing on machine learning specialization and preparing for my master's thesis.

Exchange Year at UC Davis

Spent my fourth year abroad at the University of California, Davis, gaining international experience and taking advanced courses in my field.

Lund University, LTH

Completed the foundational years of the engineering mathematics program, building a strong theoretical base in advanced mathematics and computer science.

Military Service

Completed one year of mandatory military service as squad leader for mobile anti-air defense unit, developing discipline, teamwork, and problem-solving skills under pressure.

Top Graduating Student

Graduated from high school with the highest honors, recognized as the top student for academic excellence and dedication.

PROJECTS

A selection of projects demonstrating my experience with software development, machine learning, and signal processing — each card links to the repository with more details.

Indoor–Outdoor Campus Navigation System

Developed a pathfinding system for UC Davis to find optimal routes between any indoor and outdoor locations depending on factors such as live traffic, weather and crime. Extensive use of image processing to automate analysis of floorplans and door mappings to coordinates.

ML-Based Fraud Detection in Bank Account Openings

Developed a machine learning pipeline in scikit-learn to detect fraudulent bank account openings. Conducted EDA, preprocessing, feature engineering, and evaluated multiple models with hyperparameter tuning and class imbalance handling.

Bird Song Classification using Custom Filterbanks and ML on Audio Segmentation

Built a system to classify bird songs by developing a method to create a filter bank specialized for this task rather than the mel filter, and also created an audio segmentation filter fed into a machine learning model to classify bird songs based on syllable lengths.
