About Me

I'm a software engineer living in Oslo. I've studied abroad in Japan and South Korea, and lived in Japan for three years in total. I studied at Seoul National University & Kansai Gakuin University.

My interests include making music/videos, enjoying food etc. I'm also interested in languages, especially Japanese and Korean.

三年間日本に住んだことがありますので、日本語も話せます。ペラペラではないと思いますが、平日の話は大体大丈夫です。よろしくお願いします!
