Hi there! Glad that you are showing interest to get to know me better. Hopefully it will lead to exciting opportunities that we can work on together.
On the personal level
My name is Sigrún Dís Hauksdóttir and I am 27 year old software developer from Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. Currently I am living in Denmark studying for my master’s degree at the University of Southern Denmark.
I have really diverse interests. From sitting in a relaxed environment doing something creative to attending outdoor activities which increases the adrenaline. I am an adventurous person who loves to travel, practise sports and one of the most fun things I do is snowboarding.
As an extrovert person I enjoy social activities and working in a team consisting of diverse people. When it comes to planning something for social life I am often quick to volunteer because I find it really entertaining.
