Experience
Animalia
Data Science Assistant
Built and deployed ML and analytics systems used in production across multiple Norwegian slaughterhouses. Projects include a computer vision pipeline for pig weight estimation (data collection app used by pig producers across Norway), real-time anomaly detection monitoring meat-quality metrics across Nortura and Fatland facilities, and the Kalkyle slaughter analytics API used daily by production specialists.

Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) — SmartWheat Project
Field Research Assistant
Collected and processed hyperspectral, multispectral, thermal, and RGB imaging data from UAV platforms for precision agriculture and crop monitoring research. Directly connected to upcoming Master's thesis on hyperspectral imaging for smart crop production.
Jordleie.no (Student Startup)
Co-founder & Full-Stack Developer
Co-founded a farmland rental marketplace where landowners list fields and tenants bid through open auctions. Built and own the full technical architecture end-to-end — backend APIs, database, frontend, and Docker deployment. Currently approaching MVP; demo live at jordleie-no.vercel.app. Stack: FastAPI, Node.js (TypeScript), React (TypeScript), PostgreSQL, Docker.
