Martin Schenck is a seasoned engineering leader with 11+ years of hands-on experience building software products, currently working as an Engineer (OTP) in Berlin after leading tech teams at Afilio. He blends research rigor (MSc in Computer Science) and startup CTO experience with practical delivery skills from roles ranging from blockchain engineering to senior consultancy and management. Martin stays close to implementation—contributing to open-source projects like an Obsidian task-management plugin—so he can translate strategy into reliable, user-focused code. Known for pragmatic views on emerging tech, he’s happy to tell you why you probably don’t need blockchain while still having built and shipped blockchain systems.
