I hold an MSc in Mechatronics from the University of Agder (2023). I work in the space where software meets hardware, mostly with robotics, image processing and offshore systems. I generally try to keep solutions simple, reliable and easy to maintain.
Software Engineer at NOV (Aug 2023 – Present)
Kristiansand, Norway
Joined through NOV's Pathway program. I have worked on a web-based analysis tool (Rig Cadence) and safety barrier systems such as Red Zone Manager and Anti Collision System. Part of the work also involves keeping installations running, both offshore and on land rigs.
Languages: C#, Python, TypeScript, C++, Structured Text, Rust
Tools & Frameworks: Git, Docker, Linux, TwinCAT, TIA Portal, Step7, .NET, Angular, ROS2, Flutter, React
Areas I often work in: Image processing, AI model training, robotics, autonomous systems and embedded software
Software Engineer at VOCA (Sep 2021 – Jun 2024)
Part-time (around 30%) during my master's degree. Worked with image recognition, camera calibration, OCR for container IDs, dataset generation and training of AI models.
Aero/Mechanical Engineer at Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (Summer 2021)
Summer internship on the LocalHawk drone project. Worked with another mechanical engineer on the drone design and used CFD analysis to improve range.
Student Assistant at University of Agder (Jan 2021 – Dec 2021)
Teaching assistant in physics and embedded systems. Helped with exercises, lab sessions and grading.
M.Sc. in Mechatronics, University of Agder (2021–2023)
GPA: 4.5 (A) | Master's thesis: "Towards Robust and Reliable Camera Calibration: Reducing Human-Induced Errors"

B.Sc. in Mechatronics, University of Agder (2018–2021)
GPA: 4.0 (B)
Upper Secondary School, Bø Vidaregåande Skule (2013–2016)
Sports Science (yes, I studied sports in high school — make what you will of that)
Red Zone Manager | NOV Product
Worked on development and maintenance of a red zone management system used in offshore operations. Tasks included feature development, system integration and deployment.
Automated Camera Calibration System | Master's Thesis (2023)
A method for simplifying camera calibration by pointing the camera at a screen showing calibration patterns. The camera matrix was updated iteratively based on observations. Prototyped in Python and later implemented in C++.
Autonomous Load Handling Between Ship and Shore | Advanced Robotics (2022)
Built a scaled demonstration with a 5-DOF robot arm mounted on a warehouse robot and a Stewart platform simulating ship motion. The system located and moved small "containers" autonomously. I worked mainly on the image processing used for 3D position estimation.
Automatic Drone Swarm Launch System | Bachelor's Thesis (2021)
Built three drones using Pixhawk autopilot and Raspberry Pi. Developed a ground station capable of charging and communicating with the swarm. My main work was on the software for both the drones and the ground station, as well as designing PCBs.
Devon Composite Technologies (Feb 2020 – Jul 2021)
Co-founded a small company focused on carbon fiber manufacturing together with two classmates.
Align Racing UiA (Dec 2018 – Aug 2020)
Part of the team building a new race car each year. Similar to Formula Student, just on a slightly smaller scale.
