Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthias Koch is a Staff Software Engineer and R&D leader based in Berlin with over 20 years of hands-on experience building cloud-native backends in Java, Kotlin, and Go and consumer mobile apps with Flutter. He has led teams and transformed product development processes at companies from Zalando to Kubikx and Delivery Hero, cutting prototype cycles from months to weeks and driving measurable business outcomes. As Head of R&D he helped secure over €10M in funding for spinouts by rapidly delivering MVPs, and as a solo founder his WindsportTracker Android app achieved a 4.6 rating and boosted competition participation by 200%. His technical scope spans distributed systems, Big Data analytics, Kubernetes/Rancher operations, and both SQL and NoSQL databases, with production services he built running on his own cluster. Comfortable switching between leadership and deep engineering, he combines product-minded experimentation with pragmatic architecture for scalable, high-availability systems. Outside work he channels the same iterative, performance-focused mindset into speed windsurfing and wing foiling, which often seeds new product ideas.
