01EGU 2025 poster

Subsea Fibre Seismic Research

MSc thesis research using HPC earthquake simulations and observed signals from a subsea cable.

Role

Carrying out ongoing MSc thesis research after completing the coursework component of the degree, with collaboration involving Nokia Bell Labs and academic partners. Presented the work as a research poster at EGU 2025, the European Geosciences Union General Assembly, Europe's largest and most prominent geosciences event.

Outcome

The project has produced a visible research artifact through the EGU 2025 poster and continues as ongoing thesis work. For Gale Force North, it is evidence of applied technical work across scientific data, HPC, signal processing, research infrastructure, and external collaboration.

02Rannís-funded startup

Rannís-Funded Startup Architecture & Delivery

Product architecture, cloud footing, design handoff, and delivery structure for a Rannís-funded startup.

Role

Gale Force North provides technical leadership and project management across product architecture, implementation direction, cloud infrastructure, delivery planning, UI/UX hiring, design handoff, and coordination with external contributors. The work has carried the technical foundation into structured delivery artifacts and cloud-platform implementation.

Outcome

The project now has a defined product scope, architecture, implementation-ready UI flows, design-system expectations, cloud infrastructure plan, multi-environment AWS footing, DNS and certificate control model, and delivery path that future contributors can inspect.

03Cybersecurity

Frostbyte / NCC-IS Lab Buildout

Cybersecurity lab launch with servers, virtualization, networking, self-hosted services, and student teams.

Role

Drove the project forward across technical leadership, procurement, physical setup, student hiring, student supervision, infrastructure planning, and operational execution through a year-long launch and early-operations period.

Outcome

The project moved from limited initial footing to a functioning Frostbyte / NCC-IS lab environment with physical servers, virtualization, networking, Linux systems, internal development tooling, backup strategy, web presence, student participation, and operational direction. It helped create the foundation for a lab that later gained dedicated workspace and long-term research and education value.

04Product platform R&D

Booking Platform Product R&D

Two-year booking-platform R&D across frontend state, checkout, APIs, content, auth, and data modeling.

Role

Designed and implemented substantial parts of an independent booking-platform R&D effort over roughly two years. The work covered architecture, delivery boundaries, application state, content, checkout, APIs, authentication, payments, and infrastructure ownership.

Outcome

The project produced a substantial R&D codebase and practical implementation experience across product architecture, frontend state, CMS content, data modeling, server-side API boundaries, checkout, payments, authentication, and maintainability. It directly informed the Whirlwind approach to frontend, backend, content, authentication, deployment, and infrastructure decisions.

05Cybersecurity research

Memory Forensics And OS Identification

Applied cybersecurity research pipeline across memory dumps, binary analysis, Slurm processing, and GPU training.

Role

Designed and implemented the research pipeline for an MSc cybersecurity project, covering data preparation, kernel extraction, binary disassembly, feature-vector generation, HPC processing, and GPU-accelerated model training.

Outcome

The project produced a working applied-research pipeline across cybersecurity, binary analysis, data processing, HPC orchestration, and deep-learning model training, reaching 99.42% accuracy across the retained classes while still showing limits around rare classes. For Gale Force North, it is evidence of practical work at the boundary between software, infrastructure, research data, and security analysis.
