Industrial software
Automation and engineering tools at Aker Solutions, the kind meant to cut manual steps and keep production systems running.
Hi, I’m Martin
Mostly I write software for things that move or compute, and sometimes both. That covers robotics, simulation, and engineering tools at work, plus a steady pile of side projects that seemed like a good idea at 1am.

About
I’m Martin, a software engineer in Trondheim. At Aker Solutions I work on industrial software and automation, mostly trying to make complicated systems a little less complicated, with mixed but occasionally promising results.
Alongside that, I study Applied Physics and Mathematics at NTNU. It sounds impressive until you see me at 2am arguing with a partial derivative that clearly started the fight.
Outside of work and school, I build things that are technically unnecessary but deeply satisfying, like little games, graphics experiments, and tools I could’ve just downloaded. It’s how I learn, and an excellent excuse to justify another mechanical keyboard.

What I work on
Robotics & simulation
Software that has to deal with the physical world, where geometry and motion don’t care how clean the code is.
Side projects
Smaller things I build to learn something or scratch an itch, usually games, graphics experiments, or some oddly specific tool.

Projects
A few things I’ve built recently.
Framework
Study Companion
An Astro framework and component library for interactive
course study guides. Each course is authored as plain data
(a course.yaml and a handful of MDX sections)
that pins a version of the framework, which owns all the
design, page wiring, and twenty-odd widgets. Static output,
server-rendered KaTeX, almost no client-side JavaScript.
Every site below runs on that same versioned core, so the lecture notes, learning goals, formulas, algorithm visualizers, and exam practice all come from one codebase.
Cipherbound
A Pokémon-like game built from scratch in C++, focused on core game systems, gameplay, and architecture.
This project won Best Project in the TDT4102 course at NTNU.
Interactive Black Hole Renderer
A renderer written in C++ that simulates gravitational lensing around a Schwarzschild black hole.
Game of Life Text Generator
A tool that builds Conway's Game of Life starting states that evolve into readable text, turning a cellular automaton into a very impractical typography engine.
It searches for seed patterns that settle into letters after a chosen number of generations. The header canvas on this site is generated with it.
