Who Is Hermann Björgvin Haraldsson on hermann.is?

Updated

Hermann Björgvin Haraldsson is an Icelandic web developer, and hermann.is is his personal page: a short self-published profile that mixes professional history with deliberately trivial personal facts. It is not a company site, blog, or portfolio with project write-ups; the page reads like a concise "about me" card with contact links. The information below comes from the page itself and reflects what Hermann has chosen to publish, so it should be treated as self-reported rather than independently verified.

What the page contains

The page opens with a block of hexadecimal characters and a line identifying the visitor as "human/robot nr: 3206," a playful touch rather than a functional gate. The rest is a list of personal details followed by work history and contact links.

Personal details listed

The inclusion of shoe size, jeans size, and blood type signals the page's tone: part profile, part personal joke. None of it is presented as professional credentialing.

Work history

  • Marel — since February 2022
  • Statistics Iceland — July 2018 to April 2021
  • Tölvutek — September 2016 to September 2017
  • Guide to Iceland — summer 2014

The page lists him as a web developer and shows a progression from a summer role at a travel company through IT and statistics organizations to his current position at Marel. It does not describe what he did at each employer, so the roles themselves are the only signal of his background.

Contact and profiles

  • Email: [email protected]
  • LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/hermannbjorgvin
  • GitHub: @hermannbjorgvin
  • Keybase: keybase.io/hermann
  • Chess.com: hermannbjorgvin
  • Public key: 4ADD1ADB

The presence of a public key and a Keybase profile suggests an interest in verifiable identity and encrypted communication, which fits the page's self-hosted, personal nature.

How to use the page

If you want to know who Hermann is professionally, the useful parts are the employer list and the LinkedIn and GitHub links, which lead to more substantive material. If you are trying to contact him, the email address and Keybase profile are the direct routes. The physical details are there for character, not for any practical purpose.

One caveat: because everything is self-published on a single page, there is no way to confirm the employment dates or personal facts from the page alone. For anything beyond casual interest, the linked profiles are the better source.
