My Work & School Experience

What I've been up to all these years

just the best bits

everything

Aug 2024 onwards

Developer, Tactel AB

I will soon begin work at Tactel AB, a subsidiary of Panasonic Aviations.

Spring 2024

Master's Thesis, Lund University

I recently wrote and published my Master's thesis at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University, in collaboration with Tactel AB.

Jan - Dec 2023

Research Assistant, Lund University

University computer science reasearch is quite different from most other workplaces, and has provided me other learning experiences than my previous work. I and my colleague have taken significant responsibility over the decision-making and creation of a new research project.

Summer 2022

Developer, Aftonbladet

Working at a large media company brought lots of insight into the computer science industry. For a few months I became a part of their team, working more like an ordinary employee than an intern.

2019 - 2024

MSc in Computer Science, Lund University

I have recently graduated, achieving a Master's degree in Computer Science specializing in Software. As part of my broad education, I have learned everything from functional programming with Haskell and multithreading with Java, to advanced mathematics and creating a computer.

My Skills

A small taste of what I've learned along the way

Git - I have used Git extensively in school and at work. I have learned branch management such as proper merging, along with lots of other useful information.

Java - My primary language of use, and the one I am most proficient in. Java has been used throughout my education in everything from concurrent programming to large projects.

Rust - Although never a part of my education or work, I have learned Rust during my free-time, for example using it to complete a large part of Advent of Code 2021.

Haskell - In my opinion the most enjoyable language to write, and the most beautiful. The course that introduced me to it is my all time favourite so far, and I have a deep love for the language itself.

React - I learned React when applying to my first frontend job and have used it more than a lot since then, for everything big and small. This website uses React!

JavaScript - With my experience in the largely similiar Java, paired with all the time spent during work-hours, JavaScript is likely one of the languages I have become best at.

HTML - When designing a website, I often spend a long time thinking about the logic of the HTML and how to make it great in the simplest way possible.

CSS - I love tinkering in CSS to get a website to look just perfect. I am well-versed in many different implementations of CSS, such as Sass and Styled Components.
