Top SchoolPatrick Lerner is a hands-on engineering leader with 11 years of experience building data-driven web platforms, currently Head of Engineering at Instaffo in Heidelberg. He progressed from Ruby on Rails developer and Co-CTO to leading platform teams that power an AI-driven reverse recruitment product used by hundreds of companies. Equally comfortable across front-end and back-end stacks, Patrick emphasizes modern best practices and pragmatic scaling as the company grows rapidly. A largely self-taught developer with formal CS studies at TU Darmstadt, he combines curiosity-driven learning with institutional leadership to turn people-data challenges into production-ready software. Known for applying state-of-the-art development processes daily, he’s as focused on team growth and architecture as on shipping clean, maintainable code.
