I write software for things that move or compute.
I'm a software engineer in Trondheim, Norway. At Aker Solutions I work on industrial software and automation, building tools that make complex systems easier to run.
Alongside that, I study Applied Physics and Mathematics at NTNU.
- Automation & engineering tools. Lead developer on a fully automated welding planner for the new Verdal Production Line at Aker Solutions, one of the first of its kind.
- Software for the physical world. Robotics and simulation code for welding and 3D printing, where geometry and motion drive the design.
- Data foundation & machine learning. Building the data infrastructure that industrial systems rely on and applying machine learning to turn it into useful predictions.
- System architecture. Designing how services, data, and automation fit together so larger systems stay reliable and maintainable.
- Side projects. Smaller things I build to learn or to solve a specific problem: games, graphics experiments, and one-off tools.
A TypeScript client that puts NTNU's scattered public course data behind one typed interface: catalog search, teaching schedules, weekly timetables, exam logistics, and historical grade statistics. Published on npm as ntnu-api with zero runtime dependencies, so it runs in Node, browsers, and Cloudflare Workers alike.
On top of it sits ntnu-mcp, a remote MCP server running as a Cloudflare Worker that exposes the data as ten read-only tools for LLM assistants. Add https://ntnu-mcp.martinsundal.no/mcp as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT and it can search courses, compare them, and catch timetable clashes before you register.
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 the design, page wiring, and roughly twenty widgets. It produces static output with server-rendered KaTeX and almost no client-side JavaScript. It powers course sites across physics, quantum mechanics, algorithms, and classical mechanics. Browse them at kurs.martinsundal.no.
A Pokémon-style game built from scratch in C++. Repo at github.com/MartinSA04/CipherBound. Won Best Project in TDT4102 at NTNU.
Generates starting states for Conway's Game of Life that converge to whatever text you feed it, so a random-looking grid gradually resolves into readable words.
A physically based black hole renderer written from scratch in C++. It simulates gravitational lensing by tracing light rays through the curved spacetime around a Schwarzschild black hole.
