Static Gesture Recognition using Leap Motion
May 1, 2016 – June 1, 2016
The purpose of this project was to develop an ordering system for a bar where orders were made only by using static hand gestures. With the help of a Leap Motion controller, we used Machine Learning to train a model to recognize 8 different hand gestures, in which the user could (with the support of the UI) navigate the ordering system ordering any number of drinks, foods and even to select payment option solely by using hand gestures. The final system’s model had a 95% accuracy of classifying gestures. Paper available here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.05884 Code available here: https://github.com/windmark/static-gesture-recognition
Musical Instrument Recognition System using Artificial Neural Networks
April 1, 2016 – May 1, 2016
In this project, Artificial Neural Networks were trained to classify a range of musical instruments and a number of comparative experiments were conducted on how much different characteristics of the musical instruments would impact the resulting accuracy. The dataset of the experiment was the London Philharmonic Orchestra Dataset, consisting of recorded samples from 20 different musical instruments. The final model had an accuracy ranging between 93.5% - 64.2%, depending on which parts of the audio we trained it with.

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate has worked in diverse environments, from large corporations (Spotify, Volvo, IKEA) to consulting (Netlight) and research (FOI). This breadth of experience suggests adaptability to different organizational cultures. The personal projects demonstrate initiative and a passion for problem-solving, which aligns with an innovative culture. However, the target role is 'Data Analyst' while the candidate's experience is heavily skewed towards 'Data Scientist' and 'Data Science Manager', which might indicate a potential mismatch in day-to-day responsibilities and expectations for a pure analyst role.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's experience as a Data Science Manager and Data Science Consultant suggests strong leadership, mentoring, and client-facing communication skills. Involvement in agile development (Spire AB) indicates adaptability and teamwork. The project descriptions are clear and well-articulated, suggesting good written communication.
