Developer
One of my professors approached me with an opportunity at the NTNU Faculty of Medicine as they needed someone with experience in both programming and geomatics.
I created a piece of software in Python that, combining the APIs of Google Maps, Vegvesenet, and Kartverket, found shortest driving distance in time from every postal code to every medical institution in Norway.
This data is currently being used in a large science project at the faculty.

While working for the event committee I helped come up with and organize events for fellow students. Anything from trips to ski resorts in Sweden with 150 participants to laser tag with only ten participants.
