@isakobaid
MSc Computer Science student with automation, mechatronics, and embedded systems expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am an MSc student in Computer Science at Chalmers University of Technology with a completed BSc in Automation and Mechatronics. I combine strong programming skills (Python, C, C++) with hands-on experience in control systems, industrial machines, and embedded platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
My work history spans production, logistics, and machine operation roles at Volvo Car AB, Tarkett AB and Alfa Laval, where I developed practical troubleshooting, maintenance, and material-handling skills. I have also supported undergraduate teaching as a Teaching Assistant, guiding labs and evaluating assignments.
I contributed to a multidisciplinary project building an autonomous drone, owning avionics and electronic system integration, and I am passionate about applying technology to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions in industrial automation and software development.
