Leópold Kristjánsson

I am a web-developer specialized in making bespoke websites and user-interfaces. I have worked for clients in an array of fields such as energy, tourism, pharmaceuticals, media, banking, logistics and insurance. I currently work for PayAnalytics, where we have built an application that helps companies conduct their own salary analysis and measure demographic discrepancies in pay.

I focus on design and usability for both end-users and content editors. When possible I love to collaborate with designers, illustrators, photographers, copy-writers and other specialists. My current preferred tech-stack might include things like Vue, Nuxt, Less, Prismic, Contentful, KeystoneJS, Netlify and Render.

You can find me on a few social media platforms like Twitter, Ello, Instagram and LinkedIn.
