Summary
Baldur Bjarnason is a web developer and technical lead based in Hveragerðisbær, Iceland, with roughly 14 years of professional experience and nearly two decades of hands-on web work dating back to the mid‑90s. He blends front‑end craft (JS, HTML, CSS, Svelte, TypeScript) with occasional server‑side work and a deep academic background in interactive media (MA and PhD), bringing research-driven thinking to practical product delivery. His career spans roles from digital production and program management to leading technical efforts at the Rebus Foundation, where publishing and ebooks intersect with web platforms. A long-time writer on web development and digital publishing, he maintains active blogs and bridges scholarly research with real-world tooling—an unusual mix that makes him equally comfortable prototyping experimental media and shipping reliable production sites.
