+ I work on developing AI and machine learning solutions and deploying them to production. For me, this is both
+ by training in-house models and using pre-trained models (and combining the two). In my time at Saxo, I've
+ worked on many projects, including both of the 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 April
+ 2024, this model has seen a continuous increase in the number of interactions, and is currently sitting at
+ around 70 000 monthly interactions.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A customer support chatbot which showed a 150% improvement over previous solutions in reducing client
+ interactions requiring human support. My implementation also reduced costs by around $85 000 a year,
+ eliminated several highly time-consuming manual steps, and was trivial to extend to all languages covered by
+ Saxo.
+ </li>
+ <!-- <li>A recommender system</li> -->
+ </ul>
+ <p>Previously, I've also worked as a C# developer at MAN Energy Solutions.</p>
+ <p>
+ I recently finished my master's in Mathematical Modelling and Computation at the Technical University of
+ Denmark. During my thesis, I worked on implicit matrix algorithms for performing the Laplace approximation in
+ Søren Hauberg's group in the section for Cognitive Systems of DTU Compute.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Academically, I'm interested in machine learning and statistics, from deep learning to network science to
+ Bayesian inference to forecasting. I love mathematics and would like to learn more—though mostly for its
+ applications. I really enjoy sitting down and writing code. Finally, I'm interested in the intersection of
+ science and society, and science communication is quite important to me. I spend a lot of time trying to learn
+ more about how to effectively communicate ideas and really enjoy teaching.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ I think it's important to be well-rounded and to have a broad understanding of the world. On the side, I like
+ reading about the humanities, especially economics, philosophy, sociology, and history. I suspect life is
+ intrinsically meaningless; I just try to make the most of it by learning, teaching, appreciating beauty
+ wherever I can, and by prioritising doing things I enjoy. Because of this, I try to spend a lot of time
+ engaging with the arts by reading, watching films, and listening to music. I also really like to cook, and
+ have developed a reputation for my food among my friends.
