Software architect · Entrepreneur · Developer · Reykjavik
From idea to reliable software people use.
I help organizations turn complex software work into reliable, user-friendly systems and useful products. I do my best work where clear thinking, careful implementation, and dependable delivery matter.
Profile
A calm technical approach with a builder's mindset.
I am a software architect, entrepreneur, developer, and independent consultant with more than 20 years of experience taking software from idea to production. My work spans architecture, implementation, product development, integrations, release management, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
Since 2008, I have operated through my own consultancy, STP Ráðgjöf ehf., serving clients including Nasdaq and Landsbankinn. Alongside client work, I have built and maintained real products used by people around the world.
