Over the past years, I have worked as a freelance developer and consultant on a variety of projects. My recent focus has been on developing timian.is, where I am the lead developer. Timian is a web-based order management and procurement solution for large institutions. The solution is owned by Origo. I also collaborated with Alfreð (alfred.is) on one of their recent projects, giggo.is, designing the database and implementing the backend in Kotlin.Earlier I worked with Stokkur Software (stokkur.is) on Domino's web store in Iceland (dominos.is) and then also with Keldan (keldan.is) on one of their projects.I have also worked on numerous Drupal/PHP projects, such as developing solutions for:- RÚV (https://ruv.is) – Iceland’s National Broadcasting Service- Landskerfi (https://landskerfi.is): Consortium of Icelandic Libraries- NI (https://ni.is)—Icelandic Institute of Natural History- Reykjavík City: Various internal projects using DrupalI have designed and implemented a reporting and invoice routing system for financial companies, which is currently utilized by several market participants in Iceland.Additionally, I have maintained and made incremental improvements to a trading solution I developed for H.F. Verðbréf. This system remains in active use by a market participant in Iceland.

H.F. Verðbréf was the first company in Iceland to offer DMA (direct market access) to customers. This meant a lot of innovation and software development. I was hired to oversee this work and was responsible for the implementation as well as for hiring in other developers and managing relations with IT contractors.Initially we used Orc Trading Solutions and implemented services interfacing with Orc. In this work we designed and implemented web-based solutions, using Java for backend and business logic, and PHP and Ajax technologies for building the frontend. Following the financial crash in Iceland in 2008, we basically had to start over again. We threw out the Orc and decided to design and implement an order/trade management system to take its place. A driving factor was also protocol changes introduced by the Nasdaq Exchange. Then we also built https://keldan.is which is still one of the most visited website in Iceland. In all this I worked extensively with Spring, Hibernate, Maven, Tomcat and other Java technologies plus the frontend technologies (HTML/CSS/JavaScript).

My responsibilities included:- moving the company to a new CMS- Oversee the rewriting of the documentation for the company products, i.e. white papers and product fact sheets.

Joined the RIS 2010 team in 1998 at ComputerKnowledge. ComputerKnowledge was acquired by Eastman Kodak in 2000. By 2006 the Kodak RIS 2010 had evolved into a multinational product, being used by more than 100 hospitals all over the world, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Netherlands, Germany, Australia, Chile, Kuwait and USA.My responsibilities with the RIS 2010 team included the design and implementation of a web based RIS 2010 client and multipurpose messaging components. I also worked on integration with 3rd party systems. I also trained programmers at Kodak's foreign establishments, i.a. in Canada and China.RIS 2010 used Oracle as a database engine. We also used Oracle's Application Server, and implemented our backend services in C. In 2004, after Oracle released version 10g, we re-implemented our backend services in Java as 10g used Tomcat as the backbone in its new Application Server.

Memphis's main product was a software package for processing and mining survey data. It was based on a very fast custom built database engine, capable of pivoting survey data in various ways in seconds. My main responsibility at Memphis was to design and develop document embeddable ActiveX components.

I worked at Hugur alongside my university studies. Worked on all sorts of applications there. Started out on DOS using Turbo Pascal and Turbo C and x86 assembly. We moved over to Windows in '95 and used Borland's Delphi as our main development tool.
