Things I’m working on and interested in:

• Agentic AI for forecasting. Statistical forecasts are blind to the events that actually shape the future. My master’s thesis at the Department of Mathematical Statistics, Lund University, opens a new research area: can LLM systems reason over natural language event context to improve time series forecasts? The full pipeline reduces symmetric MAPE by 66% on a logistics forecasting case versus the same statistical pipeline without event reasoning. Written with David Perntoft in collaboration with Predli. popular science summary and full thesis (preprint).
• Claimy. A consumer AI agent that automates product complaints under Swedish consumer protection law and handles all communication with retailers. Consumers in Sweden alone lose around $4 billion a year to defective products they never get refunded for. Built initially for me, my friends, and my family. In active development.
• Puppydays. A Next.js web project on early puppyhood, launched spring 2026. puppydays.se.

• Predli, master’s thesis collaborator (autumn 2025 to spring 2026). Jointly developed an agentic LLM forecasting system that delegates numerical computation to validated statistical models while using the LLM for natural language event reasoning.
• SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken), summer intern, Financial Strategy, Corporate & Investment Banking (summer 2025). Worked on financial strategy analysis for the bank’s institutional clients.
