About

Who

I am Einar Gudni, usually called Einar, a software developer born and raised in Iceland. I am a triplet, and I have two great sisters. My parents are some of my biggest role models.

I am curious by nature but didn't start coding until I started computer science at the University of Iceland. I graduated in 2020 and I think few things have been as rewarding as learning to code.

A big part of my identity revolves around sports and being active. I trained football and handball when growing up, and I have been doing CrossFit for the last 9 years. "If you don't use it, you lose it." So I try to use it as much I can. I plan on to live to at least 100 years old!

What

I love to wander around the web and see what other people are building it inspires me a lot. If I had all the time in the world I would spend it tinkering on things.

I work as a developer for Maul, a small company that wants to change how you experience your work lunch. It is so much fun to be a part of a small team with great people. High agency and a lot of responsibility. Your voice is heard and lot of opportunities to learn from others.

I do some free lance work on the side, and have been adding features and rebuilding the system for gigover

Why

I remember that I loved building LEGO when I was small, at some point I loved to draw houses, like an architecture, being the only boy it came naturally to me to play alone and I think that is where my love for building things started.

Over the last years I've started to realize more and more how important it is to have a long-term mindset. I believe that given time and effort I am capable of doing anything I set my mind to. That still means that I have to work hard and continue to improve.

My current inspiration is minimalistic and simple design, well crafted software that makes sense to use.
