Intermission

2019 - 2021

Vorupør, Caribbean & COVID

Life After my studies I moved in Vorupør, tried to; launch a business, finding a remote job and worked on starting a digital fabrication laboratory in the co-work space called Silicon VØ and finally travel the south americans and Caribbean. COVID really made everything not go as planned - I guess for everyone in the world…

Caribbean

Travelled the Caribbean with the sailboat Queen Bee (pictures?) during the winter, and where expecting to be away for the majority of 2020.

IoT and Product Prototyper - Internship then student job

WebArchive from when I worked there

IdemoLab bridges the gap between technology and design. We focus on the important early stages of the design process and strive to create meaningful experiences for users and customers. IdemoLab specialises in validating the ideas of customers, through holistic user oriented product development, prototyping and testing in real-life situations, to close the gap between people and technology, and have a viable business plan.

At IdemoLab I designed and developed of various prototypes within the field of digitalisation, internet of intelligent things and software applications. Some of the POCs I worked on include: A system in a supermarket manipulating lights in the ceiling to direct users to unknown positions of a product (LINK). A interfaces to collect and show the bus times at the nearby bus-stop (LINK) or weather information through a light installation (LINK). A tracking device to put inside the box of delicate wares before shipping, in order to track position, climate and vibrations (NDA).

Activities

  • Mechanical design and CAD for 3D printing and laser cutting Design
  • development and construction of prototypes and test in real-life situations
  • Evaluation of products and user specifications IT Development
  • software design and programming Embedded design
  • microelectronics and programming General product evaluation for redesign

Mentionable Projects

  • IBIZ Rainbow
  • Bus Watch

IoT - Student Worker

DSL is a ‘Living Lab’ in development - For new library services and a platform for various student or Ph.D research projects like within the topics of internet of things, indoor climate or preventing fire hazards.

Activities

  • Researching, selecting, distributing, developing and implementation new sensory and cloud systems to the DSL collection.
  • Continued my idea of starting a DTU Hack Lab, a community where people can work with, share and learn new technologies.
  • Implementation of almost 100 ModCams in the library for projects and a lot of other sensory systems.

Education

B.Eng IT-Electronics

2015 - 2019

Technical University of Denmark

A broad study in the cross-field between IT and electronics, to develop intelligent functions in a variety of applications and hardware/software embedded-systems. I studied hardware-near programming, microprocessors and electronics, general computer science, the mathematics behind and embedded systems engineering to develop new intelligent functionality.

In projects have done extensive C/C++ programming for example in OpenFrameworks, where I made a visualisation and control application of an intelligent drone, with onboard camera for computer vision. We have also been introduced to Assembly code and FPGA programming.

Projects

  • ITS Green, my graduation project in collaboration with IdemoLab
  • Metal Detector
  • Drone Space

Exchange at Tohoku University in Japan, fall 2017

Going abroad really increased my independence, cultural understanding, a great opportunity to study robotics and work with UX and a project with a projector robot for augmented spatial interfaces using Unity in the RIEC Interactive Content Design Lab.

⅔ B.Sc Sustainable Design

2013 - 2015

Aalborg University in Copenhagen

Before studying at DTU I studied B.Sc. Sustainable Design for two years, because I think it is extremely important the designers of tomorrow will make up for what the previous generation, of course unknowingly, messed up and push the tech industry into more sustainable and ethical solutions. Not just technology, but also the approach to technology.

During this study I learned a lot about project management, industrial design, holistic design thinking, co-creation, user involvement, the soft aspects of prototyping, classic engineering disciplines and how to create value in a fusion of trifold sustainability. I worked on various projects to ease climate impact and improve social welfare.

I completed four out of six semesters before finally decided to pursue my passion for tech, I wanted the hard competencies build the concepts.
