I’m yours truly, a student from the colds of Iceland. I’m interested in everything new and what can materialize in the future.
Alongside university studies, and in between exploring lava caves, I do research on intelligent- and creative software systems at CADIA (Reykjavik University’s AI lab).

My Icelandic name Hrafn literally means raven.
