Top SchoolManuel Kallenbach is an engineering manager and former CTO with 14 years of software experience and a decade of hands-on development before co-founding Steady, now Europe’s largest membership platform for independent publishers. Based in Berlin, he blends product-minded leadership with deep technical chops across Elixir/Phoenix and Ruby-era work, having built and monetized his own APM startup before folding it into his focus on Steady.
