Cognitive Scientist who applies technical capabilities to realise practical solutions
From Neural Networks to Global Operations: Leveraging AI and Data Science to unlock novel solutions
Project I
Emotion-Based Speed Control for Pac-Man
Integrated real-time emotion detection and socket communication to dynamically control the speed of a Pac-Man game. The system consists of several modules for emotion recognition using a pre-trained TensorFlow Lite model, frame processing, and communication.
Project II (Work In Progress)
Bachelor Thesis: Computer Vision for Neuroscience Laboratory
Developing computer vision CNN-models integrated with a Python application to automatically decode animal behaviour for a neuroscience laboratory at Sahlgrenska University Hospital
Project III
LLM-powered Personal Growth
Leveraging the power of LLM's to empower learning and personal growth through hacking the neurological phenomenon of flow state. With Flow State, you can create a clear overview of your activities, whether they're related to work, studies, or your leisure interests. You can easily add tasks and the built-in AI, powered by Gemini, then helps you structure and plan those activities. It estimates how much time they'll take and adjusts the prioritisation based on your mood and energy levels – all to maximise your chances of achieving that sought-after state of 'flow' throughout your day.
Project IV
Digitilisation of BOÖ-Bolagen AB
Design, development and launch of a comprehensive tenant management system and front-end website to enhance user engagement and operational efficiency.
Project V
Co-Founder of Néit
Néit designed and manufactured high quality IoT products with focus on space saving. Our second product, Néit Luggage, launched on KickStarter in the middle of January 2016, selling over $100’000. Funded by SOSV with a valuation of 5M USD and enrollment at their HAX incubator.
Curriculum Vitae
Focus on developing Artificial Intelligence and its implementations along with its foundational principals in neurology, mathematics and philosophy. Practical skills include Deep Machine Learning, Data Analysis, Autonomous Decision-Making and insight into the Future of Decision-Making. Bachelor thesis focused on developing computer vision CNN-models integrated with a Python application to automatically decode animal behaviour for a neuroscience laboratory at Sahlgrenska University Hospital
