Introduction post - about me

Hello everyone!

This is far overdue, and it’s about time that I write this post.
My name is Sondre, 25 years old, born and raised in Norway, currently living in Kristiansand, and this is my face:

I’ve got a bachelor’s degree in information technology, and I’m currently establishing a software startup focused on blockchain and decentralized solutions at the same time as I’m studying for a M.Sc. in information systems, a research field focused on the intersection between technology and business.
As well as looking to develop solotions, me and my co-founder @robinron does some consultancy work, and last November we held our first professional talk, where we presented how blockchain and IoT can strengthen supply chain management in the food industry.

I enjoy hiking, fitness and weightlifting on my time off, as I usually sit on my ass all day, and when the opportunity presents itself I still enjoy playing computer games with friends.

So why am I here on steemit? Well, it all started last summer when I was reading about blockchain and talking to my friend, now co-founder @robinron, about pursuing something of our own (I'm sure I'll revisit this topic in a later post).
He came across Steemit, and we realized the potential of how this can change the social media sphere and online media as we know it.
We decided to scramble together our limited student savings and travel to @steemfest in Lisbon to learn more about the community and talk to the developers, and it was worth the month of eating oatmeal and drinking water upon returning to Norway. Thank you for the amazing event @roelandp

• We met a lot of really interesting people and learned a lot both about the community of steemit, and about the technology which enables all of this, and talked to some third party developers such as the team behind @appics.

• And we somehow managed to meet a fellow Norwegian, @fredrikaa, who turned out to know a guy from our office back in Norway, small world.

• And we got to see the city of Lisbon and escape the bitter cold Norwegian climate for a week.

Several people kept on asking me, "what do you write about?", I still hadn't written anything, I tried to explain why, and I realized I really didn't know why. So, a few months later (procrastinators unite) I'm actually writing my introduction, and hopefully I'll be able to follow through and keep sharing with the community.
I'll be sharing some of the previous experiences from my life, as well as the occasional rant about technology, and a little bit about the experience of working in a startup and other life experiences.

Thank you for taking the time to read!
And feel free to ask me if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them.
