Hi, I'm Yrsa

Computer Science graduate turned Electrical Engineering student at KTH. Passionate about the fusion of software and hardware, exploring new ways to build creative and thoughtful designs.

I was born and raised in Sweden, where I've spent most of my life except for an exchange semester in Taiwan. I completed my bachelor's in Computer Science and am now studying Electrical Engineering at KTH to dive deeper into the fusion of hardware and software and drive innovation.

Beyond my studies, I've been actively involved in several boards, including my student union and the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, taking on roles as both president and board member. Currently, I'm a mentor at Pepp, an organization dedicated to inspiring young girls to pursue careers in tech — a cause especially close to my heart.

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!
