About me
I love building solutions that solve real problems and continuously learning new technologies. Currently studying Computer Science at NTNU and working part-time as a security guard. In my spare time, I lead an AI project in collaboration with Infor, where I've worked on recommendation systems, price recommendations, and experimented with AI agents. I'm always looking for new challenges and exciting opportunities!

Check out my latest projects
I've worked on various projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are some of my favorites.
Futleie
A rental website developed in the Software Development course. Focus on user experience, secure login, and simple administration of rental objects. The work provided good insight into planning, coding, and testing a complete web application.
Cogito x Infor
Developing recommendation systems and price recommendations for customers based on previous purchase data. Experimenting with AI agents to optimize internal business processes. Responsible for both technical implementation and team leadership.
News Recommendation System
Developed a content-based recommendation system for news articles that uses sentence transformers to find similar articles based on user preferences. Responsible for the entire pipeline from data collection to implementation of the recommendation algorithm.
I love building things
During my studies, I have participated in 4 hackathons. People from all over the country gather to build incredible things in 2-3 days. It's inspiring to see the endless possibilities created by committed and passionate people.

Norwegian AI Championship 2025
Norway
We won 2nd place in the Norwegian AI Championship 2025 with Cogito, a week-long competition featuring three challenging tasks: NLP with retrieval-augmented generation for medical documents, reinforcement learning with a self-driving car, and computer vision with tumor segmentation. - S
Start Code 2024
Trondheim
Deltakerne fikk delta på et 48-timers hackathon i regi av Start Code, hvor vi skulle løse en case fra en av hovedsamarbeidspartnerne, emno. Her jobbet vi med å koble en Raspberry Pi opp mot en nettside automatisk. Det var en intens og lærerik opplevelse som ga innsikt i både maskinvareintegrasjon og webutvikling under tidspress. - B
BRAIN Hackathon 2025
Trondheim
Arrangert av DNV med fokus på utvikling av en objektdeteksjons-modell for autonome fartøy. Oppgaven var å lage en maskinlæringsmodell for hindringsdeteksjon – et kritisk steg i utviklingen av autonom kollisjonsunngåelse. Konkurransen ble gjennomført på Kaggle, med 24 timer til å oppnå høyest mulig nøyaktighet, samtidig som vi la vekt på modellens fortolkbarhet and risikovurdering. Vi endte opp på andreplass, og ble kåret til beste presentasjon og for mest kreative approach. Vi benyttet datasynmodeller som YOLO 11. - A
A* Hackathon 2025 w/ Norges Gruppen & Cogito
Trondheim
During a 16-hour hackathon organized by A* Consulting in collaboration with Norges Gruppen and Cogito, we developed a real-time AI system (YOLOv11) for automatic product classification, receipt generation, and theft detection in self-checkout systems. Our live demo using mobile camera, web app, and a robust computer vision model secured us a solid third place.
