ABOUT ME
I am currently completing the final year of my M.Sc. in Engineering Mathematics at Lund University (Civilingenjör), specializing in machine learning and image analysis. My academic path has combined both depth and breadth: first developing a rigorous foundation in mathematics and computer science at LTH, and later expanding into advanced applications of machine learning and AI during an exchange year at the University of California, Davis, which gave me the unique opportunity to study near the heart of innovation in Silicon Valley. Alongside my studies, I have balanced demanding roles, from leading a squad in military service to coaching, umpiring, and directing tennis tournaments at the professional level. These experiences reflect a consistent drive for excellence, adaptability, and the ability to perform under pressure.
As a person, I thrive in collaborative environments where diverse skills and perspectives come together. My background has taught me to lead when needed, but also to listen, support, and bring out the best in others. Whether solving complex technical problems, managing a team under tight constraints, or facilitating fair play on the tennis court, I bring a combination of analytical thinking, discipline, and empathy. I enjoy challenges that push me to grow, and I approach group work with reliability, open communication, and a focus on shared success.
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
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.
TENNIS LEADERSHIP
Tournament Director
Served as the lead tournament director for national-level events, coordinating staff, schedules, budgets, and hundreds of participants.
Professional Tennis Officiating
Officiated professional tennis tournaments as line umpire at top-tier ATP events and chair umpire at lower-level professional tournaments.
Performance Coach
Provided coaching to junior athletes competing at the national and international level, guiding them through practices and matches.
