What is the website hermann.is?

Updated

hermann.is is the personal homepage of Hermann Björgvin Haraldsson, an Icelandic web developer. It is not a company, product, or service site — it is a single personal profile page that presents his identity, work history, and contact links. If you arrived looking for a business, store, or documentation portal, this is not that; if you want to confirm who Hermann is or find his professional profiles, the page is the primary source.

What the page contains

The site is organized as a compact personal fact sheet rather than a blog or portfolio with project write-ups. Based on the page itself, it covers:

  • Identity and personal details — name, nationality (Icelandic), height (200 cm / 6'7"), eye color, blood type, allergies, and languages (Icelandic, English).
  • Credentials and records — a Class B driver's license and a stated criminal record of "None."
  • Work history — Web Developer at Marel since February 2022; earlier roles at Statistics Iceland (July 2018 – April 2021), Tölvutek (Sept. 2016 – Sept. 2017), and Guide to Iceland (Summer 2014).
  • Sizes — shoe (47 EU / 13 US), jeans (40W 34L), and T-shirt (3XL).
  • Contact and profiles — email ([email protected]), LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/hermannbjorgvin), GitHub (@hermannbjorgvin), Keybase (keybase.io/hermann), and Chess.com (hermannbjorgvin).
  • Verification data — a public key ending in 4ADD1ADB, plus a displayed alphanumeric string and a visitor counter ("You are human/robot nr: 3206").

How to use it

The page works as a lookup, not an interactive tool. Practical uses:

  1. Verify identity or contact details — use the listed email or LinkedIn when you need to reach Hermann directly.
  2. Check professional background — the work history section gives employer names and date ranges you can cross-reference against his LinkedIn.
  3. Find his code or profiles — GitHub and Keybase links are listed for technical contact or to inspect his public key.
  4. Confirm the public key — if someone claims to be Hermann in an encrypted exchange, compare the key fingerprint against the one published here.

There is no login, account, or form on the page as described; the visitor counter appears to be display-only.

What it is not

  • Not a company site — despite the .is country domain (Iceland), it does not represent a business.
  • Not a portfolio with case studies — past roles are listed as titles and dates only, without project descriptions.
  • Not a pricing or product page — no services, rates, or offerings are stated.

Things to keep in mind

The page mixes professional information with highly personal details (blood type, sizes, allergies). Treat the personal data as self-published and use only what you need; do not assume it is kept current. Employment dates reflect what the page states at the time you read it, so confirm time-sensitive details through LinkedIn before relying on them. The unusual "human/robot" counter and key string are page features, not verification you can independently trust — for cryptographic verification, use the published key through Keybase or a keyserver.
