Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBjarni Einarsson is a Lead Software Developer and founder with 15+ years building privacy-focused, resilient internet services and developer tools. He created and leads Mailpile, an open-source, user-centric email client emphasizing end-to-end encryption and secure search, and previously commercialized PageKite to enable personal hosting and IoT connectivity. His background spans low-level protocols, anti-spam/anti-virus systems, embedded development and DNS/DevOps work for a national registry, reflecting rare breadth from bits to production scale. A recovering sysadmin and former Google SRE, he combines on-call discipline with pragmatic automation and security engineering. Comfortable in public speaking and cross-functional roles, he’s equally at home writing core backend code or explaining complex issues like DNS to non-technical audiences. Based in Reykjavík, he’s seeking London-based opportunities where he can have measurable impact and collaborate with interesting people.
