About: I'm a design engineer with over 15 years of experience taking products from 0 to 1. I work across the full stack, from design systems and frontend to backend and infrastructure. I've shipped products across AI, FinTech, media, insurance, and health. Most recently I led a product redesign across an AI suite at Miðeind. Before that I was Technical Design Lead at JPMorgan Chase, working on property management and cashflow analysis tools. I also designed and built the redesign for RÚV, Iceland's national broadcaster and the 6th most popular website in the country. I've built and sold my own products too: Baseline (https://baseline.is), a digital asset management tool, used to manage over 19,000 brand guides created, and Norde (https://norde.is), an icon manager. I love working on complex products with good teams. I pick up new tech easily and care about clear communication and doing things properly.

Notable Clients: JPMorgan Chase, Santander Bank, RÚV, Trello, Rob Walling, Peter Diamandis, Syncthing, SimplyCredit

Who I am: Fractional CTO with 25+ years of experience building and scaling products across multiple generations of the web. I’m often brought in to turn ideas into working systems quickly, or to stabilize and evolve existing platforms.

I’ve led teams, hired engineers, defined architecture, and stayed hands-on in the code. My work spans AI-driven platforms, streaming media systems, and full-stack web applications. I’m comfortable operating at both the executive strategy level and deep in implementation.

Known for being a “Swiss army knife” technologist who can bridge product, engineering, and execution without overengineering.

What I am looking for: Fractional CTO or Head/Director of Technology roles.

Best fit: startups or growing companies that need someone to own technical direction, ship quickly, and make practical decisions without unnecessary complexity.

Strong interest in AI-powered products, media/streaming, and content platforms, but open to any project where execution speed and clarity matter.
