With the experience from both building out our methodology for carbon accounting that I developed outside of Ignite by testing it with our first 20 customers on the topic, and with a view from engineering on how to create software products, it was great to have a full product team so that we can continue to develop our product on carbon accounting even further.

Leading a team of 20 engineering students in the project of making the first autonomous Formula race car in the Nordics. Part of the student organization Revolve NTNU (www.revolve.no), competing in the world's largest engineering competition for students as Revolve NTNU is the top Formula Student team in Norway. The results were astonishing as we in our first competition received four first places and got the second place overall, then we followed up with the Sportsmanship award as one team out of 115 at Hockenheimring! I attained valuable experience by leading a team of skilled students through an advanced engineering project, in addition to the theoretical and practical work of combining AI with electrical and mechanical systems in a real-world application.

I was part of a team of 4 students whom organized the very first SpaceUp in Norway. About 90 paying participants joined us in this so called unconference with presentations and discussions. SpaceUp Norway was hosted at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. On the weekend of 18-19 March 2017, people interested in space was brought together to discuss, present and learn about space with other students, professionals and space players. SpaceUp Norway aims at being a new open discussion and idea generation platform for the region’s space community.
