- I develop AI and ML models and deploy them to production at Saxo Bank. This means both training in-house models and using open-source pre-trained models. In my time at Saxo, I've worked on many projects, including multiple client-facing products my team has released:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- A representation learning model that learns which stocks <q>Others were interested in</q> for a
- given stock. This model was our first to be integrated into the Saxo Bank platform and used by
- our customers. As of February 2025, this model has seen a continuous increase in the number of
- interactions, and is currently sitting at well over 100 000 monthly interactions.
- </li>
- <li>
- A customer support chatbot which showed a 170% improvement over previous solutions in reducing
- client interactions requiring human support. My implementation also reduced costs by around
- $150 000 a year, eliminated several highly time-consuming manual steps, and was trivial
- to extend to all languages covered by Saxo.
- </li>
- <li>A recommender engine designed to be simple and extensible.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Previously, I've also worked as a C# developer at MAN Energy Solutions.</p>
- <p>

- In my spare time, I try to learn more about fields I'm less well-versed in. Right now, that means
