Keep it under one minute .. mention the type of projects and tech you have worked on .
As an intervewer , I get put off when candidates starts explaining projects in their introduction.

It usually depends on the context. The conversation before that led to this question.
If the context is about job history, sure projects/work history can be included.
But in general, this question can be answered like "I am from ...."
"I like to do this and that in my free time".
And as inclined you might be to include job history, try not to add it yourself as part of the answer unless interviewer asks to.
Since interviewer might be interested to know the place you belong to in case he has any plans to visit it or the places nearby, he is afterall a human being.

I have been stopped a couple of times in the middle when I add job history immediately after finishing "I am from ...".
Actually it's a default setting in our heads and definitely needs to change :D
