About
me

I'm a 5th-semester Elektroteknologi (B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering) student at DTU. Most of what I know about electronics comes from building things that had to actually work: firmware that runs unattended for months, boards that carry real current, and tools I built because the ones I wanted didn't exist. Lately I've been steering my electives toward the audio-hardware end of electronics — analog, DSP, and electroacoustics.

The work I want

The role I'm after is hardware troubleshooting. Hand me something that should work and doesn't — a board, an instrument, a protocol that won't talk — and finding out why is the part I genuinely love. Problem-solving is the skill I lean on hardest and the one I'm best at; most of the projects on this site exist because I chased a fault until it made sense. If your team has hardware that needs someone stubborn and methodical to debug it, that's exactly the work I want to be doing.

The fabrication line

The part of my setup people remember: I can go from a KiCad schematic to a soldered, reflowed PCB without leaving the building. Boards are etched on an xTool F1 Ultra fiber laser or milled on a Roland SRM-20 — driven by a CAM tool I wrote myself. Iteration time from schematic change to tested board is measured in hours, not weeks. I've documented the whole workflow as a guide other DTU students use.

How I work

I write down what went wrong. Every project page on this site has a section on failures and how they were diagnosed, because the debugging is where the actual engineering happens — scope captures, protocol dumps, and boards that behaved badly until they didn't. I'd rather show a fault I found with a logic analyzer than an adjective.

Working with AI

I use AI to implement software against requirements and architecture I define, while the hardware work and design decisions remain mine. I check the output with tests and measurements; for example, the Vinyl ADC SPICE checks caught a reversed charge pump that connectivity checks missed.

Beyond the bench

I run a small home lab (Home Assistant OS, Proxmox, self-hosted services on Raspberry Pis and repurposed laptops) that doubles as a deployment target for my own firmware and software. 3D printing (Prusa MK2S), fiber laser, and CNC milling cover the mechanical side.
