Profile

Data Scientist / ML-engineer with a passion for Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Motivated by creating value through ML-solutions. Looking for new challenges and new knowledge.

Based in Norway, I'm excited to relocate and grow in a new environment.

I enjoy taking on new challenges, recently completing a full Ironman. It required consistency, resilience and preparation. I'm looking forward to bringing that mindset into a new team.

Education

University of Bergen

Master´s Degree in Machine Learning
2021 – 2023 | Bergen, Norway

I completed a Master’s in Machine Learning with a GPA of 3.71, focusing on topological methods in AI. My thesis, Vectorizing Distributed Homology with Deep Set of Set Networks, explored new ways to represent topological features in machine learning models. I took courses in machine learning, reinforcement learning, topological data analysis, and geometric deep learning.

GPA: 3.71

University of Bergen

Bachelor’s Degree in Theoretical Mathematics
2018 – 2021 | Bergen, Norway

I studied Theoretical Mathematics with a GPA of 3.78, finishing with a thesis on Minimum Spanning Trees in Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, exploring how graph theory connects with data clustering. I took courses in linear algebra, discrete math, topology, probability, statistics, algorithms, and data structures.

    Projects

    AI Explore

    Next-Gen AML Platform
    12/2022 – present
  • My first task in TietoEvry was to launch a new AI-based AML platform, defining the AI strategy and designing the product suite.
  • Main goal was to help speed up the case handling process by providing AI powered data insights and tools.
  • Designed and built the platform from scratch with a team of engineers and developers.
  • Centered around a visual customer "map" built on embeddings from the Atlas model and principles from Unsupervised Learning.
  • Is currently piloting with several major norwegian banks.
  • Atlas

    Large Financial Model
    08/2023 – present
  • Tasked with building an AI model for Anti-Money Laundering for Norwegian Banks, reducing false positives and ensuring regulatory compliance.
  • Main challenges where lack of labels, complex data, sensitive data (GDPR) and lack of underlying infrastructure.
  • I designed Atlas, a self-supervised foundation model with an architechture based on SOTA temporal graph learning.
  • Self-supervised learning and the foundation model approach allowed us to bypass problems with lack of labels. Designed for complex data, like an LLM for transactional data.
  • Implemented from scratch in PyTorch with a team of engineers along with the nesseccary infrastructure around.
  • Deployed in private cloud, serving real time predictions for banks and is the backbone for AI Explore.
  • Internal LLM Service

    Internal LLM Platform
    02/2025 – present
  • Took initiative to build a secure, OpenShift-hosted LLM platform at TietoEvry
  • Enabled safe, scalable experimentation with confidential data and on-prem model access
  • Supports internal AI development and is actively used by multiple teams today
  • Organisations

    YoungAI

    Board Member & Event Manager
    2023 – present | Bergen, Norway

    I’m a board member and event manager at YoungAI, a volunteer-run community for young professionals in AI/ML in Bergen. We organize talks, workshops, and social events to help people connect and stay up to date in the field.

    I’ve given presentations through YoungAI on topics ranging from technical deep dives like equivariance in temporal graphs to more informal talks about life as a data scientist. I help lead planning and event organization. In general do work to keep our community active and inspiring.

    Awards

    CEDAS Hackaton Winner

    CEDAS & Eviny
    02/2025

    Me and a team from YoungAI won the CEDAS & Eviny hackathon with a custom designed GRU-based model that predicted electric vehicle charging behavior using real data from Eviny. The model combined forecasting with deep embedding analysis of time series patterns, helping uncover meaningful clusters for later use. It was recognized for both its accuracy and technical depth.
