Hi, I'm 
Severin

I spend a lot of my time coding, focusing on web and app development. On this site you'll find some of what I've made. By day, I'm also a philosophy student.

Experience

I've studied philosophy and psychology at the University of Oslo and UC Berkeley. My main interest lies in social philosophy and theory, German idealism, and contemporary French philosophy. In the coming years I will be pursuing graduate studies in philosophy.

I've worked as a research assistant within clinical psychology  and artifical intelligence, gaining experience in web development, data analysis, and machine learning, organizing events, and managing projects. Prior to my studies, I also took on some freelance web development work, developing navigational tools and booking platforms.

Lately, I have also worked as a tutor and mentor for first year philosophy students at the University of Oslo. Gaining experience in group and team leadership and teaching.

For a complete CV, for privacy reasons, please contact me directly.

Overview of my technical competencies

I have experience with a wide range of technologies, including:

Some Recent Projects

Language Companion

Github or visit the demo

Language Companion is an app that leverages LLMs to help users learn languages and decode complex texts. Built with Tauri, it provides multi-platform support across all major operating systems—Windows, macOS, and Linux—as well as mobile platforms (Android and iOS) and as a web application.

The app features a grammar corrector with detailed explanations and the ability to provide nuanced analysis of textual passages. It has proven particularly useful for interpreting philosophical texts in their original language. Additionally, Language Companion includes an AI-powered dictionary that delivers domain-specific definitions.

Filosofisk Supplement website

Visit

As part of the editorial board, I created the journal's website from scratch. The key features include easy access to large amounts of textual content for the public, as well as security and user-friendliness for the editorial team, who have limited technical experience.

By avoiding popular CMS solutions and visual editors, I created a solution that ensures security for both the editorial board and the public while enabling long-term storage of textual content. These challenges were addressed by building a server-side rendered website that efficiently handles content serving and storage in a secure, sustainable format.
