Summary
Tibor Claassen is a founder and seasoned engineering leader based in Berlin with over 16 years of hands-on experience shipping web and SaaS products and more than 25 years building digital experiences. He has led architecture and delivery at fast-growing startups like Pitch—driving modular, event-driven frontends and early LLM-powered features—and has a track record of turning project-based teams into product-oriented organizations in resource-constrained non-profits. Tibor combines product-first engineering with pragmatic technical strategy, incident management, and frontend instrumentation to keep velocity high without sacrificing reliability. As a founder he now helps early-stage, purpose-driven teams go from technical uncertainty to a ship-ready roadmap in 90 days, drawing on deep experience in offline-first systems, multilingual knowledge management, and design-led product development. An illustrator-trained thinker, he brings a rare blend of creative design sensibility and rigorous technical stewardship to complex product problems.
