SeniorFinnur Torfason is a Back End Developer with 13 years of experience blending embedded systems roots and server-side engineering, currently building backend services at Kivra. He holds an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from DTU, where his LEGO-collaborative thesis combined wireless communication and gesture recognition—evidence of a knack for physical-digital systems.

Finnur is detail-oriented and quality-driven, with practical experience in Kotlin, Java, JavaScript, C++ and Erlang that lets him bridge firmware constraints and scalable backend design. Based in Iceland, he brings a research-informed mindset to production engineering and a curiosity for distributed, interactive systems that informed early work on therapy and playware platforms.
