Open to:Contract rolesBeing mentored

Preferred workplace:Hybrid

I run Hanlon. We redesign how Nordic service businesses operate — one workflow at a time, starting with the work that eats your week. Not by adding tools. By rethinking the process itself.Every engagement starts with a single paid pilot. Four weeks. One workflow. Measurable results before anyone commits to more. Same person from discovery to delivery — no handoffs, no context lost. Everything we build is yours.Background: design systems engineer turned AI operations consultant. Before that, professional skier and decade-long DJ. Originally from Nuuk, Greenland.
