About Me

My name is David Vikstrand, and I specialize in developing tailored deep learning solutions that turn complex AI techniques into real business value. With a strong technical background from RISE’s AI and Deep Learning Department, I combine technical depth with a practical, results-driven mindset.

My Goals

My work is driven by the belief that advanced AI should be practical, understandable, and tailored to real business needs. With a background in academic research, I’m committed to translating deep learning from theory to real-world impact, helping organizations unlock value from their data. I focus on clear communication and genuine partnership, making AI accessible for non-technical teams and building long-term relationships based on curiosity, trust, and shared growth.

Experience Highlight

During my time at RISE, I had the opportunity to collaborate with the iconic porcelain brand Rörstrand on a deep learning project focused on automating porcelain objects identification. I led the development of an AI-model designed to identify the year of manufacture for Rörstrand objects with high precision.This project demonstrated how advanced AI can be applied to streamline quality control and improve operational efficiency in a traditional manufacturing setting. Working closely with both technical teams and business stakeholders, I gained valuable experience in translating complex AI methods into real, measurable business outcomes.
