I'm currently working on my thesis project alongside 3 other courses, so if I don't answer the phone initially, please feel free to call again or send an email, and I'll get back to you during the day.

• I am a mechanical engineering student at DTU Ballerup.
• Even outside of my academic and professional work, I am very interested in engineering. I follow many different fields closely, with my favourite areas of engineering being machine design, production processes, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, control systems and project management.
• I graduated from U/Nord HTX Hillerød with an upper secondary education in A-level mathematics and physics in 2021. I took 5 A-levels in total, where the other three were English, Danish and Digital Design. I also took B-level courses in biology and chemistry.
• My father is English and my mother is Danish, hence the "half English, half Danish" on my CV.
• I am bilingual and completely fluent in both languages.
• I am married to my wife, whom I live with in Ballerup. We have been married for more than 2 years.
• I am very fond of nature, having grown up in North Zealand where there are many forests and beaches. I love being outside, although as a full-time student it isn't always easy.
• I play guitar, bass and drums at an intermediate level, having previously produced my own music.
• I am very fond of computers and modern technology, having built several PCs for myself and others. I also enjoy programming as it is a very useful tool.
• I do sim racing in my free time, mostly in rally simulators like EA WRC, but also circuit racing simulators like Assetto Corsa Competizione and rFactor 2.
• I am also a nature photographer. My published pictures can be seen in my photography portfolio.

Having grown up in a working-class family, a great work ethic has been at the forefront of all my professional and academic work. Even outside of work, my passions are still closely related to mechanical engineering, being cars, computers, biking, music and photography. I am married and live only 400 meters from DTU Ballerup.

62999 - Innovation PilotResumé
• Group of 7 people.
• Received a pitch from a selection of companies, where the team then had to choose a pitch to work further with.
• Two product development rounds, first round of 3 weeks as practice, second round lasted the rest of the course.
• Each round ended with the selection of a winner, which was the best group in the company's eyes. Our group won both rounds, as we identified from an early stage what it was that the customers wanted.
• The product development process involved the classic Double Diamond process, among many other methods.
• The deliverables in each round consisted of 20-page design reports and reflection reports.
• I was the only person in my group who received the letter grade A (12).My role
• It was quickly evident that the team lacked a leader who could organize and structure the team's efforts. I stepped up and filled that role through both innovation rounds.
• My most important role was to develop our pitch to the customers and then present it. I was one of the few in the group who voluntarily signed up to present, as I find it easy to present in front of people and am fluent in English.
• I also contributed a lot with planning, document writing, research and idea generation.Credit

Internship at Kirkholm Maskiningeniører A/SSummary
• In my 5th semester I worked as a mechanical engineering intern at Kirkholm Maskiningeniører A/S.
• I worked on a multitude of different projects, but had a couple of ongoing projects that I worked on the entire time I was there.
• I got to speak with customers and suppliers, and also got to present my very own solution to a customer's problem, which another consulting engineering firm had failed with - the customer was very satisfied to say the least.
• I developed my skills within parametric CAD, sheet metal CAD, product development, customer contact and supplier contact.
• My longest project ended with a finished prototype of a packaging machine for one of Kirkholm's customers - the prototype had some clear problems, but was a solid foundation for further work.
• I gained great insight into the daily life at a consulting engineering firm and various production companies.
• Due to confidentiality I cannot show pictures of my work at Kirkholm, but to the right is a picture from Kirkholm's LinkedIn. Here I am shaking hands with my project supervisor at Kirkholm Martin Lindemann.Credit

Design and construction of terrace in North ZealandSummary
• Design of terrace in Solidworks according to customer's wishes, approx. 9 m².
• Purchased materials and built the terrace at the location where the customer had requested it.
• Did everything myself, so it took around 10 full working days.
• The customer was very satisfied with the result, especially since I had explained that it would be quite difficult with the design they had chosen - primarily because of the boards that need to be cut at 45 degrees and align with each other at the ends.
• The result was extremely solid, especially because the customer chose to go with an over-dimensioned design, even though I had given them a more economical option with fewer posts.
