Top SchoolHrafn Malmquist is a software engineer with nine years’ experience building web and archival systems, currently at Cottage Labs in Edinburgh. He combines a hands-on JavaScript toolset with Java and Python, and recently completed an MSc in Data Science with distinction after a dissertation on predictive analytics for an Icelandic crowdfunding platform.

At the University of Edinburgh he integrated Archivematica, ArchivesSpace and DSpace, reflecting strength in systems integration and data workflows.
