Redesign of Ice grips
There are many people who could benefit from ice grips during the icy winter but from various reasons are unable to do so. A concept ice grips that one may attach or detach and activate or deactivate, without having to bend over or stoop down may be a potential solution for many people.
A mechanism that enables one to activate and deactive the studs while another allows one to attach and detach the ice grips, all at the same time not having to stoop down or otherwise bend over?
Pulling inspiration from well-known solutions and applying personal experience is a great way of working with mechanical engineering. I offer a wide array from both guidance to complete projects.
Industrial design
Travel mouse final concept (far right)
"We believe in the simple, not the complex" -Tim Cook, Apple Inc.
Imagine yourself at an airport, working at your computer. You are called to gate and get yourself ready, but wait where did you leave your travel mouse? A vibration in a forgotten coffee cup reveals it.
Bluetooth, inductive charger, optics, touch, battery and location services are some of the new technologies today making this type of product a possibility.
This project is an example of how industrial design tailors to the brand of a product and its customers. With both customers expecting new products and new technology being developed, there're good conditions for innovation.
I offer services from conceptual to detailed design. From experience I have found that most projects include ill-defined problems. Being solution-focused helps, but also pulling on know-how in order to open up the problem situation is a great way to achieve success.
Industrial technology
Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara AB (LKAB) minerals group used bucket wheel excavators in their shipping process of pellets (ore). Today these are gone, replaced with a much more effective system: SILA
During the winter, the pellets would freeze and create steel-hard lumps which would halt the process. A suggested solution of my group was to either crush the lumps or simply filther them out. In the end, the choice became: eliminate the seasons.
Engineering projects such as these often consists of several members working together towards a common goal. While self-dicipline and perseverance is important, caring and helping eachother keeping focus is perhaps even more so.
Mechanial engineering is a passion of mine ever since this first project, and I now offer services for maritime installations, offshore industry, fishing industry, mining and melting industry, logistics and transportation.
Vocational education
Expertise and care go hand in hand.
Finding a class lacking in teaching equipment and techniques, I joined a group across departments and created a new study lab. Letting each student have their own workstation allows individual progress while still doing group tasks. Also, standing instead of sitting down keeps good posture and soothes the mind.
I believe good relations between parts are key to optimal learning. Keeping a professional approach to any situation helps secure the relationship by strenghtening the longterm work. Most projects have both ups and downs and learning is no exception. As such, I have experienced success when the road back to the comfort zone isn't too long and one may push for development almost immediately after a downfall.

International Welding Engineer (IWE)
Heat, CTOD, WPQR/WPS, fatigue
As a certified welding engineer I provide services in both consulting and hands-on welding-projects. With a both practical and theoretical background, I strive to find best applicable solutions. Welding engineering is helpful in a variety of areas, and I have often found it a good assistance in creation of work packages for fabrication and manufacturing.
