Hello, I'm Rasmus Hogslätt

Software Developer

About Me

Hi there! I'm a software developer in Sweden. My favorite programming language is Rust, but I am also familiar with languages like C++, Java, Python, etc.

I am curious about new technologies, so when given the time, I often tend to dabble with things. This has led me to build drones, RC-cars and becoming a Rust evangelist.

Software developer

Rust

Safe & Performant code

Education

Master's Degree in Technology of Media

Linköping University, 2024

Specialized in computer graphics and AI. This degree is similar to a typical computer science degree, albeit with higher emphasis on mathematics, graphics rendering and GPU computing and less so on the hardware of the CPU etc. During my last year I received a scholarship for academic performance."

Professional Experience

Rust Backend Developer

ThirdAct | 2024 Nov - Present

Rust

Azure

Javascript

APIs

Git

Developed backend code in Rust to speed up interactions with Azure Cosmos databases. This involved handling large amounts of data interfacing with various APIs. I also created a library for handling scheduling and availability for stores etc.

Software Engineer

Saab | 2024 Jun - 2024 Nov

Git

Linux

Ada

Pascal

CI/CD

Maintained and developed software used in some of Saab's underwater products.

Research Assistant Developer

Linköping University | 2022 - 2023

C++

Python

OpenGL

3D-Rendering

Worked through summer and part time during coming semesters on the open source project Inviwo. It is an open source scientific visualization software developed mainly in C++ and OpenGL.

Software developer & Electronics Assembly

Easy Laser | 2018 - 2022

Python

Electronics

Soldering

Worked full time before university, assembling laser based measuring devices. Here I saw how all steps of the supply chain worked, given that everything was done in house. Throughout studies, I worked part time during summer as software developer.

Math Assistant Teacher

Linköping University | 2020 - 2021

Math

Teaching

I assisted in teaching fundamental math, and single- and multivariable calculus for first year university students. This entailed having my own classes where I held presentations and students were able to ask me questions. I also assisted in coding courses, such as object oriented programming and immersive visualization.

Personal Projects

Visualizing RC car in Mixed Reality

Visualization and control of an RC car in Mixed Reality. Implemented in Rust, involving contributions to the open source Bevy Engine. This was part of my master's thesis.

Guitar Tablature App

Many people that play the Guitar find Guitar tablature very useful, as traditional musical notation can unncessarily hard to learn if you only care about playing the Guitar. This program parses MusicXML files, a widely used musical notation format for any instrument, into Guitar tablature and lets you play back what the song is meant to sound like.

CNN

Legonization of Images

A program that converts an uploaded image into a lego mosaic and calculates pieces required to reproduce with actual bricks. Support multiple brick types. Color matching was done using CIELAB.

Matlab

Image Processing

TypeScript

Multithreaded MD5-based password cracker

Explored multithreading in Rust by implementing a MD5 based password cracker.

Rust

Threading

Code

Game of Life

For my first project in Rust, I implemented Conway's Game of Life. The user clicks on the tiles that should be active and then starts the simulation. It is fascinating how simple rules can produce very complex patterns.

Hobbies & Interests

Things easily tend to catch my interest, so I often find myself exploring different hobbies and technologies. Some that I enjoy are solving Rubik's cubes, playing the Guitar, reading books, reading Donald Duck comics, spending time with my cat, going to the gym, bicycling, running, coding personal projects and spending time with family and friends.
