How to Contact Hermann or Find His Profiles Linked from hermann.is
Updated
The hermann.is page lists a direct email address and several external profiles. To contact Hermann, use [email protected]; to find him elsewhere online, the page links to LinkedIn, GitHub, Keybase, and Chess.com. The page presents these as his own contact and profile details, so they are the intended routes rather than guessed handles.
Contact and profile links listed on the page
| Purpose | Detail shown on hermann.is |
|---|---|
| [email protected] | |
| linkedin.com/in/hermannbjorgvin | |
| GitHub | @hermannbjorgvin |
| Keybase | keybase.io/hermann |
| Chess.com | hermannbjorgvin |
| Public key | 4ADD1ADB |
The page also includes a longer key string near the top of the text (ending in 4ADD1ADB), consistent with the shorter public key listed under contact details.
How to use each route
Use the address exactly as written: [email protected]. The page gives no response-time or availability information, so treat it as a standard personal contact address rather than a guaranteed support channel.
The page gives the profile path linkedin.com/in/hermannbjorgvin. Enter it as a full URL in a browser. LinkedIn may require you to sign in to view the full profile, depending on the viewer's account and the profile's settings; the hermann.is page does not state the profile's visibility.
GitHub
The page lists the handle @hermannbjorgvin, which corresponds to the profile at github.com/hermannbjorgvin. This is the route to his public code and repositories, if any are public.
Keybase
The page points to keybase.io/hermann. Keybase profiles are used to publish identity proofs and keys; the page also lists a public key (4ADD1ADB), so this is the natural place to verify the key against the profile.
Chess.com
The page lists hermannbjorgvin as the Chess.com username, i.e. chess.com/member/hermannbjorgvin. This is a gaming profile, not a contact channel.
What the page also tells you
The same page identifies him as Hermann Björgvin Haraldsson, Icelandic, a web developer, with past work at Marel (since February 2022), Statistics Iceland (July 2018 – April 2021), Tölvutek (Sept. 2016 – Sept. 2017), and Guide to Iceland (Summer 2014). It also states he speaks Icelandic and English. If you are deciding which channel fits your purpose, email suits direct contact, LinkedIn suits professional inquiries, and GitHub or Keybase suit technical or verification matters.
Common snags
- Typing the email from memory: the domain is hermann.is, not a common mail provider; copy it from the page.
- Bare profile paths: LinkedIn and Chess.com entries are shown as paths, not full URLs, so add https:// and the site's domain before opening them.
- Login walls: LinkedIn in particular may ask you to sign in before showing the profile; that is a platform behavior, not a sign the link is wrong.
- Key mismatch: if you plan to verify the public key, compare the full key string on hermann.is with the one published on Keybase rather than relying on the short 4ADD1ADB suffix alone.
