Professional summary

Innovative and entrepreneurial-minded professional with extensive experience in managing and completing complex technical and scientific projects. Throughout my career, I developed skills and gained comprehensive experience as a Space Systems Engineer and Science Team Member, working with the full (NASA) life cycle process on the development of advanced hardware and software solutions, that was successfully delivered to international space agencies such as NASA, ESA and more. One of the remote sensing instruments successfully developed and delivered for NASA, is now mounted on the Mars Perseverance Rover, that was sent to Mars in 2020 and is still active using the hardware delivered to the mission. Leveraging my key skills and knowledge, I excel at automated remote sensing solutions for Earth & Space exploration, SatCom, technical innovation, R&D, and innovative idea-creations. I am committed to superior services through positive attitude and leadership within fastpaced environments. I am highly skilled in developing and implementing operational plans, delivering projects within agreed time, cost, and quality parameters. I exhibit excellent coordination and presentation skills with fluency in English and Danish. I am also extremely versatile and adaptable to other industry needs and have a logical approach mindset, that makes me able to quickly learn, adapt and understand complex requirements, necessary to develop advanced technologies and solve unique challenges.
