Senior Engineer - Biomechanics & Developer Experiences

About Me

I am a Senior Developer Experience Engineer with over a decade of experience in internal tooling and scientific software. I began my career as a researcher in biomedical engineering andbiomechanical modeling.

I spent 12 years at AnyBody Technology. I worked as a multibody simulation expert and eventually built the company’s entire developer platform. I managed their long-term Git migrations and set up automated CI/CD pipelines. I also built their documentation portals and release systems.

Today, I work at Nykredit. I administer the enterprise GitHub platform and other developer tools. I also focus on improving the daily Python developer experience across the organization. Outside of my day job, I maintain several open-source projects, including Snakemake, AnyPyTools, and packages on Conda-forge.

Open Source Projects

Automation & extension tooling for the AnyBody Modeling System.

The AnyPyTools package provides a Python interface to automate multibody musculoskeletal model simulations in the AnyBody Modeling System. The main advantage of AnyPyTools is that it enables reproducible research for the AnyBody Modeling System, and bridges the gap to the whole ecosystem of open source scientific Python packages.

Snakemake

Co-maintainer

https://snakemake.github.io/

Workflow management for reproducible and scalable data analyses.

Snakemake is highly used in in the field of bioinformatics, but the system is usefull in all cases where data analysis workflows are involved. The Snakemake workflow management system is a tool to create reproducible and scalable data analyses. Workflows are described via a human readable, Python based language.

My contribution to snakemake was enabling windows support, which involved integration of the commandline systems on windows, and updating the snakemake test system to also handle windows tests. I am currently one of the 8 maintainers of the project.

Xonsh

Core Developer (2016 - 2022)

https://xon.sh/

Python-powered cross-platform shell (9K+ GitHub stars; Top 10 trending in 2020).

Xonsh is a modern, full-featured and cross-platform python shell. The language is a superset of Python 3.6+ with additional shell primitives that you are used to from Bash and IPython. It works on all major systems including Linux, OSX, and Windows. Xonsh is meant for the daily use of experts and novices.

It has been a while since I actively contributed, but I have previously I was one of the core-developers when xonsh was getting started, and mostly handled the Windows compatibility aspects.

When I'm Not Working

When I’m not behind my PC, I am father to two kids. I enjoy cooking and outdoor activities with my family, like skiing and swimming. I spend some of my time helping restoring and sailing an old wooden sailboat as part of club in Aalborg, that I helped start.
