Education

2014 - 2016
M.Sc. Mathematical Modeling and Computing; Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark

Specializing in machine learning and complex networks I ended up writing my final thesis, Link Prediction in Complex Networks with Node Metadata, on the prediction of citations made by the verdicts of the European Court of Justice.

2009 - 2012
B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering; Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark

My first meeting with engineering where I spent more time in Matlab than I did designing mechanisms which led me to mathematics and my bachelors thesis on digitally reconstructing 3D-printed items to make it possible to measure internal dimensions.

Work experience

2013-2015
Junior Developer; 3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark

Part time job next to my studies working on developing interfaces between our CAD software and 3rd party milling machine software as well as verification of milling machines. Mainly worked in C# and Delphi and got experience working in a small scrum team in an enterprise with 300 developers and millions of lines of legacy code.

2012-2013
Web Developer; Lagoa (Autodesk), Montreal, Canada

Internship turned full-time job where I worked in web development for a start-up performing browser based 3D rendering. Mainly worked with JS/RoR and Redis and I got a lot of experience with the fast turn-arounds in the start-up world as well as a baptism by fire in web development.
