About this blog

In this minimalist blog I will mainly focus on writing about programming, management and related topics. But I also write about other things I like or spent some time thinking about.

I strive to keep things as simple and short as possible, because I want to be understood by as many people as possible. I like the efficiency of simplicity.

I will go back and edit a post if I see that it makes it easier to read.

I apologize for such a long letter - I didn’t have time to write a short one.

About me

I live in Norway and I’m currently working at a startup specializing in underwater technology with a focus on fish health and monitoring 🐟

Computer Vision

I previously led a machine vision team working on drilling optimization and automation for tasks where other sensors could not be used.

Automatic Drilling

My first job out of college was as an software engineer on automation systems for offshore drilling rigs (example). While my main office was in Norway, I often traveled to shipyards in 🇸🇬 Singapore, 🇰🇷 South Korea and 🇨🇳 China.

Cybernetics

In 2013 I finished my masters in Cybernetics and Robotics, at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. My master thesis was in robotics and machine learning, where I used a genetic algorithm for path planning and object avoidance for a robotic arm.

Shanghai

In the summer of 2012, I lived in Shanghai and worked as an intern at an electrical design department of a offshore engineering firm there.

Norway

My father is from 🇹🇳 Tunisia and my mother is from 🇳🇴 Norway. I grew up right in the middle of Oslo, Norway. In the area called Sinsen.
