Working On Something at Stealth Startup
Berlin, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Favre is an entrepreneur and software engineer based in Berlin with 12 years of experience building data-driven products and reliable infrastructure. He combines academic rigor—a PhD and a Visiting Researcher stint at Stanford—with hands-on startup execution as a co-founder and former CTO who led a donor-recommendation platform to cash-flow positive traction. Tom has shifted between roles in SRE leadership, customer success ops, and full-stack engineering, repeatedly turning messy, large datasets into actionable systems (10M+ records, entity resolution and sampled PageRank in production). He’s skilled at marrying research-grade experimentation and statistical analysis with production software and automation, having run large randomized surveys and implemented AI-driven reliability improvements. An early coder who started on a Psion Organizer II, he’s as comfortable architecting containerized analytics and PostgreSQL algorithms as he is communicating insights to execs and customers. Outside work he’s curious about medieval Iceland, public transit and strategy games—hints of the systems-minded thinker behind his technical craft.
