At Norsk Katapult Digital, I help Norwegian industry identify AI opportunities and turn them into prototypes and decision support. I delivered around 12 AI projects in the past year, including «Sprint deg til AI», which produces working applications in one week.

At Furuno Norge AS, I had primary responsibility for Akva Lab, a full-stack application using mathematical modelling and machine learning for fish welfare in aquaculture. In the maritime sector, I demonstrated up to 20% fuel reduction for clients.

At NTNU, I contributed to research developing a solution to predict early signs of cerebral palsy in premature infants; it has since been commercialised through Deep In Motion Technologies. My work draws on a research background in biostatistics, modelling and applied analysis, alongside experience translating advanced technology into practical value.
