I'm jugleader of jug-iceland. I've been CTO for several years in hugsmiðjan, and I am currently holding that position along with my current work title, chief of software development. My main goal is to make great, quality software, that works well, with great people. I usually do not jump on technologies just for the technology. I'm conservative, realistic (sometimes I come out as quite negative), and I try to take educated decisions, rather than jump to conclusions. I love simple solutions to complicated tasks.
