I am the founder, CTO, and a board member at Ory Corp. My role at Ory is to design, architect, build, and run the product with the help of an incredible team. In 2010 I co-founded Serlo Education e.V., a German non-profit NGO operating the open education platform www.serlo.org. Serlo serves over a million active users per month and is the biggest e-learning platform in German speaking countries. As a representative of Serlo's dedicated and hard working team, I received the Order of Merit by the German Federal President Frank Walter-Steinmeier in late 2019. I have contributed to open source since 2004 and authored and published numerous open source projects with significant traction. Software I author and maintain has been downloaded hundreds of millions of times and is serving hundreds of millions of humans without borders. I completed my MSc Computer Science with focus on Knowledge Discovery, Computer Security, Networking, and Databases at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) in 2018. In 2014 I received the “LMU Research Prize for Excellent Undergraduates” for developing the Learning Management System Athene2 for Serlo.
Ory builds the New Identity Stack aimed for the 2020 decade by creating visionary open source technology and cloud software.
The Ory Foundation was a technology consortium tasked with supporting critical open source ecosystems. It has been acquired by Ory Corp in 2022.
Introducing cloud native workflows and toolchains to improve the way software is used and developed.
At Serlo, we aspire to collect every piece of knowledge you might ever need to succeed in school - completely free of charge and without ads. Like on Wikipedia, every user can create new content or improve upon existing materials. We already provide thousands of articles and solved exercises in German - now it’s time to go international. Our vision is that each and every one has free access to high-quality education and can learn according to their potential - let’s get started. Together.
