Software Engineer @ Aker Solutions · NTNU Student

Hi, I’m Martin.

I like building software for things that feel real — robotics, simulation, engineering tools, and the occasional side project just because it sounds fun.

About

I’m Martin Sundal Aspås, a software engineer based in Trondheim. I work at Aker Solutions, where I spend time on industrial software, automation, and engineering-related systems.

Alongside that, I study Applied Physics and Mathematics at NTNU. I enjoy projects that combine programming with problem-solving in the real world.

Outside of work and school, I like making things that help me learn — from game systems to graphics experiments to tools that are useful just because they’re fun to build.

What I work on

Industrial software

Building software that supports engineering workflows, automation, and production-oriented systems.

Robotics & simulation

Working on systems where software connects with geometry, motion, and physical constraints.

Side projects

Making smaller projects that let me explore graphics, gameplay, tools, and ideas I find interesting.

Projects

A few things I’ve built recently.

Cipherbound

A Pokémon-like game built from scratch in C++, focused on core systems, gameplay, and building a complete project from the ground up.
