A little background you ask? Well, I am originally from Denmark but has been living in Austria for the past couple of years. I studied for a long long time at Aalborg University back in Denmark.

My path into engineering is probably not what most people would think of as a straight shot. But I think this has really helped me in my later life. Having the experience from multiple different industries and viewpoints from other organizations, has made me think in an alternative manner.

My career actually started after dropping out of Global Business Engineering studies at Aalborg University. See, in my adult life I have always been fascinated by engineering. But also by trade, speaking english, other cultures, adventuring and all the stuff you find interesting as a 20 year old.

So when I dropped out of school, I decided that I needed to do what I had always found interesting. So I thought going into the world of Shipping might be the right way for me.

After a few interviews for internship programs (a 2-year danish program) I actually ended up choosing between an actual shipping oppertunity at MSC and a sales job at Danish Crown.

Most people will be familiar with MSC, I think they are the biggest shipping company in the world by now. And every dane will be acquint with Danish Crown since it is one of the biggest production companies in the country. They slaughter and sell pork meat.

My Uncle was already working for the company at the time, and he had told me many good stories about the culture and the benefits. So I took the oppertunity. It also helped at bit that the HQ was in my home town. AND I would be working in International Sales. I was very excited.

Having started though. I very quickly realized within the first 6 months of my two-year internship, that sales was not for me. Or, at least, sales in the meat industry was not for me.

At the time, my only form of education was from the upper-secondary school (Gymnasium in Danish) with trade focus. I felt like sales and marketing might not be for me after all. I felt like that 1 semester I did at university exploring a branch of the technical faculty appealed to me more. But I wanted it to be more technical than what it had been back then.

So after scourering the University website for hours and hours, I landed on either Mechanical Engineering og Electronics Engineering. As a kid, I had always liked characters like Gyro Gearloose (inventors). These two branches of engineering felt like the most straightforward way into that direction.

I didn’t have the necessary credentials to enter this technical branch of the university though. So while finishing my 2-year internship at Danish Crown, I studied in night school to pass the necessary classes for admission.

In 2018, I rejoined Aalborg University as an Electronics Engineering student. I really loved the 5 years I was there, my fellow students were amazing, and I got to do some awesome projects. You are welcome to read more about my semester projects on here on the site.

Shortly after joining the university program I got a side job at the GOMSpace HQ. I was originally hired in the business development department, but after just a few short days, the company had a massive firing round and the entire apartment was put down. So I ended up joining the sales department instead.

I had a lot of fun there, handling a lot of small account clients in both Europe and the Americas. I finally had a lot of interractions with electronic products and GOMSpace was designing, producing and selling cubesat systems.

After a few years in Sales, I was lucky enough to be able to switch into the R&D signal processing department for the rest of my studies.

In 2022 I got an offer to go Munich for my ninth semester “internship”. The offer came from the chip giant Infineon. I spent year in Munich working with them. First as an intern and later while writing my thesis with them. It was really interesting, but also far away from the academic environment I had gotten used to over the years.

As I was finishing the thesis, I started looking for jobs. I wanted to stay abroad, since I was quite sure that if I went back to Denmark

I love being coming up with new creative ways to use light and signals. Light is more the sparetime thing and signals are more work related.

Let me know if you like any of the stuff I am tinkering with. I am always up for a nice talk with like minded - Or not likeminded people!
