About Me

Passionate about building intelligent autonomous systems that solve real-world problems. Currently pursuing my MSc at NTNU Ålesund with a focus on robotics and UAV development.

01. Professional Summary

I am a Mechatronics and Automation engineering student with a strong passion for robotics, autonomous systems, and intelligent control. My journey into engineering began with civil engineering, where I developed a solid foundation in mathematics, physics, and project management.

Currently at NTNU Ålesund, I specialize in Robotics and Intelligent Systems, working on cutting-edge projects at the IIR Automation Lab. My primary focus is on UAV development for maritime research applications, combining hardware integration, embedded systems, and machine learning.

I am actively seeking opportunities in automation, robotics, and control systems engineering where I can apply my skills in autonomous systems development and contribute to innovative solutions.
