Gjermund Norderhaug
Hi.
Gjermund here. I lead the product department at Kindly.ai. I love technology and efficiency, but also the analog, people and nature.
Based in Oslo, but often out on adventures around Norway.
About
I like discovering and exploring Norway, and my goal is to one day contribute something positive to society myself.
I thrive in roles with many layers and variety. I know a bit about a lot, and I'm at my best when that knowledge can be combined.
I can discuss technology with technologists, business with leaders, and give talks on technical topics for non-technical audiences.
Outside work I'm mostly outdoors: in the mountains, running, skiing, or indoors with a saw and a plank in my hand.

Worked in a café and binged YouTube tutorials to learn to code. Got my first developer job and built websites for small businesses for free on the side.
Off the clock
357 municipal peaks
The goal is to stand on the highest point in every municipality in Norway. From Eime at 28 meters in Kvitsøy, to Galdhøpiggen at 2469 meters in Lom.
I started it all in November 2024 and I will be spending the rest of my life on it. Let me know if you want to join, or share tips and experiences.
