Hansen's educational background includes studying Computer Science at Tartu Ülikool from 2012 to 2015, though he took a break to focus on web development.1

At Membo, Hansen and his team are working to build a Europe-wide network of local food producers, enabling customers to order directly from hundreds of local suppliers.12 The company has gained recognition, being accepted into Y Combinator, a prestigious startup accelerator.23
