Hello! My name is Einar Birgir and I'm a front-end developer who loves to build great things.
I've been making intertron since GeoCities was the place to be and Altavista was the coolest search kid on the block. I currently reside in Göteborg Reykjavík, where I serve and obey a 2-year-old 6-year-old dictator called Kolfinnur Kali, who also happens to be my son.
I approach (almost) every project with enthusiasm (not really) and an ambition to create something beautiful, useful and pixel-perfectly crafted.
I also plan to update this interwebsite thing very soon (not really).
Feel free to contact me or follow me on twitter @einarbirgir.
