    Who Am I

    Mikkel Solnado

    AI Strategist · Creator & Educator · Builder

    Before tech, I spent six years doing outreach work with at-risk youth on the streets of Copenhagen — finding people in crisis and helping them back into education, employment, or out of criminality. Then eight years leading creative teams in a music production house. My job was always the same: make people work better together under pressure.

    Now I do the same with AI.

    I design how teams adopt AI without chaos, burnout, or loss of trust. I build internal AI operating layers that define ownership, logging, workflows, and human-in-the-loop design.

    I am the founder of Nodel, an AI enablement operating system for companies. Nodel helps teams move faster, keep clarity, and make AI safe, calm, and useful.

    My work sits between people and technology.
    Not in code. Not in decks. In how work actually flows.
