PROFILE

Reynir Björnsson

Worked on the ocaml/opam-repository, focusing on improving package management workflows and cross-version compatibility. Over two months, contributed an Opam packaging cleanup for the SwapFS package by refining metadata and simplifying dune dependency constraints, which reduced installation friction and improved maintainability. Later, addressed a compatibility issue for the Mirage package by updating opam dependency conditions to ensure reliable builds and tests with OCaml versions below 5, stabilizing CI and supporting smoother release cycles. Demonstrated expertise in OCaml, dependency resolution, and collaborative engineering, with work emphasizing packaging consistency, CI reliability, and onboarding for new users within the OCaml ecosystem.
