Presentation and academic fields
I specialize in applied AI – designing and implementing intelligent systems that deliver measurable value in business and society. In my work at CBS, I try to demystify AI and help students build impactful solutions themselves. 

Professional and/or academic experience
I'm currently working as a Senior AI Engineer at Syv.ai, where I build AI products and custom solutions for Danish organizations. At Syv, we also train leading Danish LLMs like Hviske, Plapre and Claes and build open-source software like Dash, Conductor, Rulecast and much more. Before all this, I spent four years at NTT DATA, growing from Data Scientist to Lead AI Solution Architect and Managing Data Scientist. Earlier, I worked with data science at Novo Nordisk and as a business analyst at Deloitte.

I hold an HA(it.) and a cand.merc.it in Data Science from CBS, during which time I worked as a research assistant at MSC. I have taught AI & Machine Learning at CBS since 2023.

Pedagogical experience/method skills/supervision
As in industry, my approach to teaching is to demystify the topic, plant seeds for ideas and possibilities and to observe KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid).  I try to make my teaching interactive with quizzes, case work and hands-on exercises. I supervise in all fields related to AI and machine learning.
