Projects

A selection of the work behind the skills map — architecture and consulting for Icelandic and international clients, plus the software I've built. (Client detail is kept to what's already public.)

Software I've built

• Starfagrunnur — an open Icelandic occupational knowledge graph (ÍSTARF21 × ESCO), served as a free REST API.
• IndiceIA — a career AI-impact product for EU markets (FR / ES / IT).
• AI Job Checker — the English-market career AI-impact product.
• Peritus Job Graph — the proprietary "Global Knowledge Graph of Work" (O*NET · ESCO · ROME on Neo4j) that powers IndiceIA and AI Job Checker.
• cvgraph — an AI-native, verifiable knowledge-graph CV that turns a career into an interactive skills map. (closed beta)
• Gafnir — a bilingual (Icelandic / English) AI assistant. (closed beta)
• Spunagreind — Icelandic generative-AI education and resources. (closed beta)
• Peritus aiOS — the agent-driven operating system Peritus runs on (internal).

Architecture & consulting

Peritus slf · Founder & Principal Consultant (2021–present)

I founded Peritus to build an AI-first consultancy — and most of the software above is mine. The wider work:

• Built the knowledge-graph stack behind the career products — the Peritus Job Graph (O*NET · ESCO · ROME on Neo4j, with an AI-exposure analytics layer) and the open Starfagrunnur API — plus a family of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that give AI agents real tools.
• Lead generative-AI adoption: AI strategy advisory, prompt-engineering and data-safety training, and workshops from one-hour introductions to full-day courses.
• DevOps & cloud delivery — CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code and cloud-native delivery: AWS-led DevOps engagements at the forefront, a large Azure DevOps programme for a major Icelandic company, and a Google Cloud DevOps project.
• ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audits — audit preparation, evidence gathering and support.
• Project management for the Natural Catastrophe Insurance of Iceland — tender management and implementation of their claims system.
• Public-sector procurement: technical tender specifications, stakeholder interview kits, evaluation criteria, and end-to-end bid support.
• Cloud, security and infrastructure architecture — the long-standing craft, now delivered with automation and AI in the loop. Software Requirement Specifications (SRS) for a government digital-identity tender; private cloud design and implementation; vCTO for a high-performance-computing (HPC) provider; iOS/Android release automation on GitHub.

…and many more.
