Mathias Berger-fruhinsholz is a founder and hands-on software engineer based in San Francisco with five years of experience building resilient, cross-platform systems and shipping product-focused features. He has deep practical experience in peer-to-peer, offline-first networking and mobile drivers from his work on the open-source Berty messenger, where he improved cross-platform logging and connectivity drivers for Android and iOS.

A graduate of 42 Nice and a Y Combinator founder alumnus, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with an unusual attention to observability and network-aware optimization.
