Experiences

Education

Computer Science
Uppsala University
Aug 2018 - Okt 2021

With my interest for materials engineering gone, I decided to switch to computer science. The program helped me to develop a strong foundation for computer science, it instilled a level of curiosity for new tools/technologies and it taught me the work ethic needed to succeed in the industry.

Uppsala, Sweden
Materials Engineering
Uppsala University
Aug 2013 - May 2017

A typical engineering program that covered everything from mathematics to physics and of course materials science. Sadly in the first couple of years the program had more physics and mathematics than materials science courses. This strongly contributed to my constant decline of motivation to continue the program, which eventually lead me to quit the program.

Work History

Scila
Java Developer
Nov 2021 - Ongoing

I'm currently working as a java developer for Scila, a Fintech firm focused on market surveillance. My day to day revolves around maintaining and adding features to the surveillance app, managing production servers as well as discussing with clients how to improve their ability to track bad actors.
