Summary

My career began in Denmark where I worked as a software developer. Having dual citizenship, I made the decision to relocate to Iceland after an absence spanning several years. Since then I have worked in various countries and encountered unique challenges in each of them. In the past couple of years I have been exposed to areas of machine learning and the cyber security spectrum. I have gained diverse experience, including deep learning, internal system development, and a mission to establish top-notch internet security for the cloud era.
