Work Experience

 
 
 
 
 

Lecturer [Part-Time]

DIS

Aug 2023 – Present Copenhagen, Denmark

Teaching the course: Artificial Intelligence, which focuses on Symbolic AI. Students explore:

  • The foundations of Symbolic AI, from knowledge representation to logic-based reasoning.
  • Building intelligent agents that can reason, plan, and solve problems using search algorithms.
  • Ethical implications of using AI technology.
 
 
 
 
 

Data Engineer [Full-Time]

Corti

Mar 2022 – Present Copenhagen, Denmark

Corti builds intelligent machines for augmented medicine.
I contributed in the following ways:

  • Built a gRPC microservice adapter for real-time data streaming and conversion to Corti’s online detection service, decreasing latency between services by 70%.
  • Main architect of a Data Warehouse solution to allow customers and internal stakeholders access to their usage data, unlocking insights for 30% call reduction time.
 
 
 
 
 

Junior Machine Learning Engineer [Part-Time]

Corti

Mar 2021 – Feb 2022 Copenhagen, Denmark

Corti builds intelligent machines for augmented medicine. Our AI supports medical personnel on making decisions in real time during medical emergencies, combining bleeding-edge machine learning research and real-world data from emergency calls. I worked on the following types of projects:

  • Scoped and built a full-stack end2end testing framework for Microsoft Azure cloud deployments.
  • Create and maintain end2end CI/CD Microsoft Azure pipeline for scalable Dockerized using Google developed gRPC-based microservices with Tensorflow models built-in.

Volunteer Causes

I’ve been involved in a series of volunteer causes. Here are some of them.

Student Contact and Head of Copenhagen

I got involved in Tekna in the spring of 2018. As a Student Contact, I had the opportunity to organize events and gatherings for Norwegian students within scientific and technical subjects. As the Head of the Copenhagen Branch, I had the pleasure to arrange a series of different events for our volunteers and members.

Founder

When I moved to Denmark, we founded The European Youth Parliament Denmark, to provide a platform for Danish youth to express themselves, experience democratic processes, and debate global affairs. I had the great pleasure to serve as President of the Board, and be part of the starting phase for the organization.

Editor, Chairperson, Media Team Member, Organizer

During my time at Trondheim Cathedral School, I participated in a debate organized by the European Youth Parliament Norway. Since, I participated in many different events, both as a participant and as a volunteer, and met a whole bunch of great people across Europe.

Generative Modelling of Sequential Data

Autoregressive convolutional neural networks such as WaveNet are powerful models that have recently achieved state-of-the-art results …

Across kingdom biased CYP-mediated metabolism via small-molecule ligands docking on P450 oxidoreductase

Combining single molecule FRET and single turnover studies with cell studies and docking simulations we advance our understanding on the intricate role of conformational dynamics on activity and specificity, and eventually how pathogenic mutations and small molecule ligand interactions control metabolic disorder and biosynthetic pathways.

DeepFRET

DeepFRET, a new deep learning-based platform for standardized, automated, and unbiased single-molecule FRET data analysis, seeks to lower the threshold for smFRET expertise, allowing for a greater number of scientists to take advantage of this powerful technique.
