An Aspiring Developer
Going for the MSc programme in Computer Science and Engineering
About me
Hi there, my name is Marcus, and I'm a 21 year old Software Engineering student at the Technical University of Denmark with a love for all things tech. I currently reside in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I have always been fascinated by computers, and especially video games. This passion slowly grew into deep love for how software, websites and other feats were created, and as such I started creating simple websites and Minecraft Plugins, continuing to improve my skills and expand upon my knowledge and expertise.
I have had the pleasure of working on lots of different projects, ranging from simple websites in plain HTML, to full-stack web applications and AI models with TensorFlow and PyTorch. This website is one of my little side-projects, and the primary objective is for it to function as a proper portfolio.

As an event coordinator, I was part of a team of six people where we coordinated the DSE Messe Lyngby 2023, the largest job and career fair for engineering students in Denmark. This provided me with experiences in various areas such as logistics, design, and teamwork. I have also worked as a sales representative, selling DSE's products through telephone, email, and in-person interactions, which has given me experience in sales and communication with customers.

HTX Næstved
Higher Technical Examination Programme
This is an Upper Secondary Education in Denmark, and my line of study was Computer Science. I developed skills in computer science, digital design, and development, including designing and programming a voice-controlled robot with AI in my third-year technical subject. As part of the mandatory Study Area Project (SOP), I also developed an AI for chat moderation using TensorFlow Keras in Python. The AI was able to assess whether chat messages had a good or bad intention (toxicity), which could be used to help moderators on various chat forums.
