Summary
Unnar Erlendsson is a software engineer with a decade of experience specializing in developer tooling and distributed build systems, currently helping companies cut build times through remote execution at EngFlow. He previously worked on Stadia’s Build and Debug team at Google and has hands-on experience improving developer workflows and debugging tooling. A competitive programming hobbyist and co-founder of the Icelandic Competitive Programming Association, he also coaches the Icelandic IOI team and served as Regional Contest Director for NWERC 2020 and 2021. His background blends strong foundations in algorithms and discrete mathematics (MSc) with practical production experience, and he often brings contest-grade problem solving to systems and performance challenges. An interesting, non-obvious detail: his career pairs academic teaching experience as a university TA with production work at major cloud and tooling platforms, giving him both pedagogical clarity and large-scale engineering rigor.
