About Me

I'm a third-year Media Technology student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology with a focus on AI development, web technologies, and user experience. My main interest lies in building digital tools and systems that are both technically sound and thoughtfully designed. I enjoy exploring how AI and machine learning can be applied across different fields, especially finance, to uncover insights, optimize decisions and make complex information more accessible.

In addition to my technical studies, I have a strong interest in business and economics. I find that understanding how products fit into broader market and organizational contexts adds an important dimension to development work. It helps me think not only about what to build, but also why it should be built and how design and technology decisions shape real-world outcomes.

Selected Projects 💻

A few builds that showcase how I approach engineering problems. From idea, to prototype, to polished delivery.

Applied AI / Website · 2025

Report Kick

Image showing indicators of my application 'Report Kick'

This project helps users upload company annual reports and automatically extract key financial metrics such as net income and return on equity. It demonstrates my ability to integrate AI APIs with a responsive, modern frontend. The idea came from watching my girlfriend, who studies industrial management, manually search through reports for the same indicators, this project aims to make that process faster.
