Arnor Heidar Sigurdsson

I am a software developer and designer hailing from Iceland. Currently CTO at Pure North where we're working to improve the environment by recycling plastics and bringing the value of recycling back to the consumer.

Previously I was the CTO at Júní, a digital transformation agency in Iceland.

Before that I had a 4 year stint as a developer and the lead designer at a venture backed growth-related startup in San Francisco.
