Hi, I'm Yrsa

Student in computer science at Stockholm University. Programmer, musician and curious about hardware. Here to build creative and thoughtful designs.

I was born and grew up in Sweden where I've remained most of my life except for an exchange semester to Taiwan. Currently I am finishing my bachelor's in computer science, planning to graduate in june 2024. In the future, I want to continue my studies as well as getting hands-on experience through internships and project work. Previously I have also been a part of several boards such as my student union and the Swedish chamber of commerce. In roles both as president and board member I find joy in contributing to projects that help my peers.

In my free time I like to experiment with hardware by building small technical solutions for my home such as a watering system for my plants. Some of my new years goals include trying new recipes, travel & discovering new places as well as continuing my development in programming.

I created this portfolio to showcase my interests and experience. Further down you can get to know me a bit better through my most past projects and my interests!
