Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArnar Helgason is a versatile software developer based in Reykjavík with 11 years of practical experience building web and backend systems across media, healthcare and product companies. Holding a BSc in Computer Programming and pursuing an MSc in Computer Science, he has evolved from full-stack web work (PHP, WordPress, Python/Django, React, GraphQL, Docker) to focused backend roles at RÚV and now Aurbjörg. He combines production-facing engineering with strong operational instincts gained from early hands-on roles in customer service and healthcare data entry, which sharpened his attention to reliability and user workflows. Comfortable across the stack, Arnar is driven by continuous learning and pragmatic delivery rather than hype, often bridging gaps between legacy systems and modern APIs. Colleagues describe him as steady under pressure and curious about improving both code quality and developer experience.
