Falko Krause is a senior software engineer and startup CTO based in the Berlin area with a decade-plus track record bridging research-grade bioinformatics and product-focused web engineering. He co-founded webpgr and currently drives backend and frontend work at Apheris, bringing practical full‑stack chops from building cash‑point, call‑center and waiter mobile interfaces to scaling modern web platforms. His background includes research roles at Max Planck and Humboldt University and mentoring in Google Summer of Code, reflecting deep technical roots in computational biology and parallel computing. Falko combines academic rigor (MSc in Bioinformatics/Theoretical Biophysics) with hands-on product delivery across startups and research institutes, often tackling performance-sensitive problems. Not obviously typical for a web engineer, he has substantial experience with massively parallel computing from early research roles, which informs his approach to efficient, scalable systems.
