Reykjavík, Iceland
 
Icelandic video game developer Solid Clouds today announced the appointment of Þorgeir Auðunn Karlsson as Chief Technical Officer. This comes on the heels of a successful initial public offering, where demand was four times higher than supply, and the announcement of Solid Clouds’ next project, a mobile game entitled Starborne: Frontiers.
 
Þorgeir is no stranger to Solid Clouds or the Starborne universe, as he worked on the company’s previous game, Starborne: Sovereign Space, as the technical lead. Solid Clouds’ focus has always been on creating a solid technical base to facilitate a swift turnaround time for future products, and Þorgeir has been and continues to be a vital part of that strategy.
 
Þorgeir holds a MSc degree in Computer Science from Reykjavík University, where he also held a position as a teaching assistant for several years. In addition to this, he was also a research scholar in machine learning at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia, and has a wealth of experience as a software developer and tech lead in the gaming industry.
