ABOUT BARDUR R. GUTTESEN

As a product-minded full-stack software engineer with a strong background in Computer Science, I am passionate about delivering outcomes that positively impact users and business results. I enjoy cross-functional collaboration working closely with Product Managers and Product Designers to deliver products that customers love and want to use. I prefer basing my work on hard data combined with qualitative insights from customer interviews and usability tests instead of subjective opinion battles. Focusing on *outcomes* instead of *outputs* is essential, especially when planning work based on quarterly OKRs.I enjoy learning about product, business and design topics such as Design Thinking, OKRs, product discovery, etc. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with colleagues through presentations or applying it through workshops.My technical expertise centers around HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6+, TypeScript), Node.js (with Express.js), React (+ Next.js), Python, Firebase (+ Firestore), and SQL. I am competent in broader topics such as SEO, accessibility, and performance, and I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies to deliver value.I am comfortable working on the command line in a Unix-based system (macOS or Linux) and have a foundation in key topics such as algorithms, data structures, databases, software architecture, distributed systems, machine learning, and concurrency, thanks to my university education.Additionally, I am proficient in design tools such as Figma, Excalidraw, Adobe Illustrator, and Sketch, which I have used to create vector graphics, including logos, icons, infographics, illustrations, and landing pages.
