Hi there
I'm Mads, a student at DTU Design and Innovation. I have a passion for technology and
design, and I'm always tinkering with something on the side, whether it's creating tapestry
for my home or developing a DJ deck using a raspberry pi.
My focus is on mechanical design and robotics. I love being able to understand
the theory of something, and being able to reproduce that in the real world, from balancing robots
to compliant mechanisms. As you'll see in the projects below, my work follows a structured and
systematic design approach grounded in curiosity and experimentation. Click the images to view

Design of Bio-Inspired Lightweight Soft-Robotic Gripper
Hardware Communication Protocols
Embedded systems
Control Systems
Mechanical Design
Electronics Integration
Compliant Mechanisms
Tendon-Driven Actuation
Together with a fellow student, I designed and built a bio-inspired lightweight soft-robotic gripper, inspired by the octopusses curling behaviour.
Studio Booking System for Atelier Rosen
Web Development
System Architecture
UI/UX
Svelte
Deno/Hono
PostgreSQL
The music studio Atelier Rosen was in need of a better way to manage bookings for their studios. I developed a system that allows users to book studios for a specific time slot, and for the studio to manage their bookings. It features an admin-dashboard, a booking-flow, and a system for managing users and rooms.

Mechtronics
System Architecture
Full-Stack development
MQTT
SQL-Lite
ESP32
HTML/CSS/JS
This project focused on developing a modular can-dispensing system designed for Danish student dormitory fridges. The system was divided into three modules: a beer storage unit, a payment module, and a web server responsible for managing user and purchase data. My main contributions were designing the system architecture to ensure reliable communication between all modules, and developing the web server — including both the backend database and the frontend user interface.

Form Exploration
Prototyping
This student project involved designing a high-end portable campsite lamp for Snow Peak, aimed at creative professionals seeking premium outdoor gear. The objective was to create a lamp that provides ambient lighting inside tents while aligning with Snow Peak's minimalist Japanese design philosophy.
CAD Skateboard Replica
Parametric Modelling
Advanced Assembly
Rendering and Texturing
Technical Drawings
Exploded Views
PTC Creo Parametric
As part of this project, I recreated a real skateboard in Creo Parametric, focusing on both accuracy and presentation. The process allowed me to explore advanced CAD techniques and practice bringing together detailed components into a coherent assembly.
