Glenn Töws

Studied electrical engineering at DHBW Mosbach and in partnership with Rheinmetall, focussing on functional safety in automotive embedded software. Led the efforts for development and adoption of a state-of-the-art componentization framework for embedded software at Miele, before making a pivot to artificial intelligence and web technologies.

Julian Goetze

Founder/ CTO of stagewise.io, a frontend coding agent that lives inside your browser on localhost. As a core engineer, I helped scale saasmetrix. I also built a PLG product strukto.io that helped fellow CS students from 0 to 5,000 MAU. I love building great products.
