Finnur Magnusson’s Summary

I deployed my first website in '97 and since then I have been involved in all things Internet.
During my university years I set up my own company with a couple of guys and developed one of the first eCommerce application in Iceland. Since then I took part in developing a CMS and an email marketing application.
From there I moved on to agency work where I worked on IT projects for some of the largest companies in Iceland including Icelandair, Siminn and RUV.
In 2006 I moved to London and joined VYRE as a consultant and sales engineer.
My projects have included the Sony Playstation site for the PS3 launch, Product Information Management portal for Woolworths and Virgin Holidays and Brand Management Extranet for Nokia.
During the last couple of years I have been focusing on applying social web applications in the enterprise environment.
My current role is Community Manager for the browser based massively multiplayer strategy game Hours of War.
