About - Math to C to cloud, by one person.
I build novel AI algorithms and take them from first idea to working production. The math, the algorithm, the C or Python that runs it, the cloud or embedded system it lives on, and the product around it. One senior person owning the whole technical problem instead of three specialists who cannot talk to each other.
My background sits in two worlds that rarely meet. On the research side: PhD in Automatic Control from Linköping University, 16 peer-reviewed publications, 500+ citations, and a postdoc in Bayesian inference and machine learning at the University of Newcastle. On the operator side: I co-founded AgriOpt, an AgriTech startup recognised on Ny Teknik's hottest AI startups list and the European AI startup landscape in 2020. We grew to 12 people and around 50 paying farmers before running out of runway, and I was talking to farmers, designing the product, and shipping the code.
I work best on hard problems where the algorithm has not been solved yet, where research has to meet hardware or production reality, and where someone needs to own the whole thing end to end. I am less interested in scaling and maintaining what already works. Others do that better.
