Summer Intern, Coastal Monitoring / USV Swarm · Summer 2026

Worked on the Coastal Monitoring project, built around Ran, our main autonomous surface vessel (USV), together with Gudrun, a Maritime Robotics Otter. Two boats is not much of a swarm yet, and that was the point: a proof of concept for swarm operation that scales up to many more vessels later, rather than a finished fleet.

  • Autonomy with MOOS-IvP. Learned MOOS from scratch and used the IvP Helm for autonomous operation of the vessels, so a mission could be handed to the boats rather than driven by hand.
  • Networking over WiFi and Tailscale. Set up the vessel-to-shore and vessel-to-vessel links over WiFi, with Tailscale configured so everything talks securely over the VPN rather than over an open network.
  • Azimuth thruster modification. Changed both the firmware and the electronics on the azimuth thrusters to unlock their rotation from ±90° to ±180°, giving the boat a much larger usable thrust envelope.
  • Mechanical work and field work. Paint job, detailing and general prep on Ran, plus being out on the water for the trials. A surprising amount of an autonomy summer is spent in an orange survival suit.
  • Learned that the gap between “works in simulation” and “works in a fjord with wind, waves and a flaky link” is where most of the engineering actually is.

Summer Intern · Jun 2025 to Aug 2025 · Trondheim Software Engineer, part-time · Sep 2025 to Dec 2025 · Trondheim

Embedded software in the Short Range Radio team, working on Bluetooth Low Energy. Started as a summer intern and stayed on part-time through the autumn, in the space where BLE meets real hardware: small, testable firmware in C, and scripting away the repetitive bits.

  • BLE components in C. Built Bluetooth Low Energy software components for embedded targets on nRF and Zephyr, from advertising and connection flows up to GATT-level features.
  • Zephyr RTOS, hands-on. Configuring, building, flashing and debugging firmware on real Nordic boards until it behaves outside the lab too.
  • BabbleSim. Simulated wireless environments to study how BLE behaves under interference before taking anything to hardware.
  • Scripting and automation. Shell and lightweight scripting to streamline development, automation and testing, so experiments came out repeatable and fast.

Tech: C, Zephyr RTOS, nRF SoCs, Bluetooth Low Energy, BabbleSim, shell scripting
