The short version

We are a small studio of senior engineers in Reykjavík. We take on the problems most teams would rather avoid, we ship them with care, and we hand them back documented, tested and yours. No juniors in disguise. No decks instead of code. Just the work, done well.

00Where we have been

Regulated, national, and across the Atlantic.

The kinds of projects our engineers have shipped, and the ones we take on.

  1. 01

    Regulated healthcare

    Software for FDA-listed medical devices: HIPAA-compliant AWS provisioned with Terraform, regulatory documentation generated from the code, and a pipeline that ships many times a day without breaking traceability.

    A platform rewritten underneath an existing FDA listing, now serving patients across 40+ US states.

  2. 02

    Public sector at national scale

    Citizen-facing services on shared platforms: open design systems, X-Road integrations, and the monorepo discipline that lets dozens of vendor teams ship into one codebase.

    Core maintainers of Island.is after winning its public tender.

  3. 03

    Fintech and trading

    Systems that move money and have to explain themselves: autonomous trading inside deterministic guard rails, auditable decisions, broker and exchange integrations.

    An AI trading platform across stocks, options, crypto and prediction markets.

  4. 04

    AI in production

    Agents, retrieval and evaluation wired into real workflows, with the measurements that make them trustworthy and an MCP surface so other agents can use them too.

    A hosting platform with a built-in MCP server for AI-built sites.

  5. 05

    Working with US teams

    Reykjavík sits on GMT: a morning overlap with Europe and a full afternoon with both US coasts. Contracts, invoicing and compliance that US companies are used to.

    Years of daily collaboration with US-based teams and customers.

01What we do

Five ways we show up.

Every engagement is staffed by senior engineers who have shipped before. Pick the shape that fits; the standard stays the same.

  • Product engineering

    We build the whole thing.

    Web, mobile, backend, infrastructure. One team owns it end to end, demos every week, and ships to your cloud, not ours.

  • Consulting & architecture

    Decisions you can defend.

    Architecture reviews, technical due diligence, and the written record of why. We leave decisions as documents, not as memories.

  • Team augmentation

    Seniors in your standup.

    Engineers who join your team, your repo and your rituals. No handler in between, no bench.

In plain words

We helped build the platform a whole country signs in to. Most of the rest sits behind a non-disclosure agreement.

  1. First place out of 100 teams in the public tender to build Island.is, with Parallel ehf. Then one of five core maintainers of the monorepo: architecture, tooling, code quality and security reviews for dozens of vendor teams shipping citizen-facing services.

    • React
    • Next.js
    • NestJS
    • X-Road
    • PostgreSQL

  3. The service portal’s access control and delegation model, end to end: the front-end plus the GraphQL and auth APIs behind it. Then Leyfisbréf, digital professional and education licence certificates.

  4. Menntamálastofnun’s monorepo, set up on the same stack as Island.is, so the agency’s teams ship with the conventions, tooling and CI the national platform had already proved.
