Bio

I'm born and raised in Reykjavík - Iceland. My educational background is quite diverse, ranging from carpentry to various engineering fields and now I'm finishing my undergraduate studies in software engineering - my only formal degree so far. I like to make things, and in order to make things I have to know how the things I'm working with function - both externally and internally. This lead me from building small outhouses when I was young to analogue/digital circuits, to formal axiomatic systems (small scale). Now I'm just generally interested in modelling things in such a way that they work! I'm a fan of LePUS!
