I was born and raised in Bergen, Norway. Half norwegian, half icelandic. Moved to iceland in 2011 to attend Reykjavik University and have lived in Iceland ever since. I've always had a passion for computers and started programming when I was 14. I like skiing, biking, building and flying drones, web development and hacking on things. I enjoy working with others and have good problem-solving skills.
