Hakon Krogh
@hakonkrogh
Founder-engineer and senior project manager delivering complex tech programs with hands-on execution and P&L ownership.
NorwayWhat I'm looking for
I am a founder-engineer and project leader with deep operational and technical experience, having raised US$2.5M and led multinational teams to deliver 18 projects end-to-end. I combine owner-level accountability with hands-on engineering—building four production web applications with AI features, payment integration, and custom automations that removed repetitive work.
As Founder & CEO of Drowzee AS (2018–2025) I managed full P&L responsibility, recruited and led teams of up to 30, and invested ~35,000 hands-on hours to ensure execution across strategy, product, and delivery. My practical tech skills include Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Python on Google Cloud Platform, Tailwind CSS and UI tooling, which I used to create scalable, production-ready systems.
I bring structured, coaching-oriented leadership and a focus on measurable outcomes—balancing ambitious innovation with rigorous financial discipline to control scope, risk, and drive value from day one. I am available for immediate engagement as a senior Project Manager to lead high-stakes initiatives.
