Full bio

Am an experienced tech founder with both business and engineering skills. I like working on start-ups and building value for customers and investors from nothing. I have worked in the US, Asia and Europe. I speak English and German as mother tongues. I enjoy working with Python, Django, Sencha Touch and video streaming. Am currently building LiveEdu into the next big thing. The idea for LiveEdu came about while I was playing games on Twitch and and developing software. "The aha moment came with the question what if there was a Twitch for education where people could learn something" . I gathered some people together and we built the first version in a backyard office in Berlin, Germany. We got traction from day 1 and got accepted into Y-combinator S15. Our mission is to make lifelong learning social and fun through edutainment. LiveEdu is a live edutainment platform where you can watch and learn from people working on projects live and collaborate with them. People use it for education and collaboration. Launched in 2015 with the first category "coding" but will be expanding soon to more categories like LiveGameDev, LiveDesign, LiveHardware, and LiveMathematics. LiveEdu has already been used by over 1,000,000 people from 194 countries. LiveEdu wants to disrupt the multi-billion dollar lifelong learning market.
