Summary
Kría Elínarbur is a Lead Software Developer based in Reykjavík with seven years building production web systems across startups and SMBs. She leads full-stack development at Spaugur, shipping Next.js/TypeScript and HTMX frontends with Tailwind CSS and backends in Next.js, Fastify or Gleam, and prefers carefully engineered self-hosted auth and argon2id password storage. Her experience spans complex billing, provisioning and cloud-management systems, hands-on DevOps with Docker/Kubernetes/proxmox, and database work with PostgreSQL, Prisma and KeyDB/Redis. Comfortable owning both product and corporate responsibilities—she also serves as Spaugur’s chairperson and handles board-level filings and accounts—Kría blends engineering leadership with business operational rigor. Known in Iceland’s Gleam community as the “only gleam user,” she brings a pragmatic polyglot mindset and a preference for small, well-audited stacks over one-size-fits-all vendor solutions.
