Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Bassner is a research-focused full-stack engineer and founder with nine years of experience building scalable community platforms and learning technology. He founded Yunite, a Discord SaaS that grew to power 130k servers and over 10 million users before being acquired by Gankster, and contributes to open-source projects like Javacord and Artemis. At the Technical University of Munich he researches generative AI in higher education and develops IRIS, a context-aware virtual tutor integrated into the Artemis learning platform. Comfortable across backend and frontend stacks, he combines product-minded engineering with academic rigor (M.Sc. Information Systems, TUM) to move AI-driven teaching tools from prototype to production. Less obvious: he has hands-on experience resolving low-level concurrency and permission issues in widely used Java bot libraries, reflecting a knack for solving subtle, high-impact engineering problems.
