About Me

I am a software engineering graduate with 14 years of professional experience in enterprise network infrastructure, system administration, virtualization, monitoring, backup, security, and technical support.

Alongside my infrastructure career, I gradually moved into artificial intelligence and data science from around 2017, building academic and practical experience in machine learning, data analysis, NLP, and AI system design.

Since relocating to Iceland, I have focused more deeply on AI-assisted software development, web-based products, and structured product workflows. My recent work connects software architecture, artificial intelligence, user experience, and implementation-ready task design for AI coding agents.
