My final project there was to make a PLC control of a hydrogen
generative cell at an experimental village
on the north-west coast of Denmark.

My first job as an engineer was at Tæknival's
industrial automation department 1995-1999. It was a good workplace with a lot of young creative employees and high hopes
for a bright computerized future in Icelandic industry. I worked on several development projects like IT4Food (Information
Technology in Food industries) and QimIT (Quality Index Method for IT). We automized a dousin factories, fish farms, water
plants, hydro-power stations and the main oil terminal in Iceland.

In the autumn of 1999, me and two colleagues in the IA department
baught the department out of Tæknival and founded our own company - Logic
. We continued working for various solutions in industrial automation, but the seafood industry was getting a decrease in
profits these years. This led to a dramatic decrease in automation and new investments almost came to a halt in many factories.
We then merged Logic with Naust Marine in 2002, a couple of experienced guys in specialized trawler equipment manufacturing
in Iceland.

In 2002 I went to school again for Executive Masters degree
in Business Administration (MBA) at the national university. I made a lot of good friends there and business partners...

I continued working at Naust Marine, with a few private projects in consulting for seafood industries
and the Blue lagoon
skin care products factory.

The summer of 2004 i got my MBA degree and joined Nortek
, to become the technical manager of the company. I have a couple of jolly guys working for us - I try to control their efforts
to create a good working environment with some nice opportunities for personal development and carrier. We are working on
various projects for future developments - to beat the competition !

I have also been known to give part time lessons in the three
main technical schools here, the machineries and sailor's school (http://www.fti.is), Electrical continuing education (http://www.raf.is)
evening classes (http://eftirmenntun.vsfi.is) and the Technical University which has now merged with
Reykjavik University
