Johannes Engl;

I have 10+ years experience building cloud native applications applying my expertise in technologies like Ruby on Rails, AWS, SQL and Golang

At Deliveroo I was part of the availability team tackling scalability problems and ensuring higher reliability of the microservice architecture.
At Tourlane (sequoia backed travel tech startup), I led a cross-functional team of seven engineers.
Before Tourlane I worked as Lead Developer for the San Francisco based Startup Airgora.
I founded and was CEO of the TravelTech Startup 99trips for two years.

I am available for short- and long-term software engineering projects as well as startup consultancy.

Leading the Growth Engineering team, responsible for building customer-facing web applications for lead generation and ad-tech products for the SEM, display, and SEO marketing teams. The team consisted of five Frontend Engineers, two Backend Engineers, and one Product Manager.

Led initiative to extract the SEO pages into a microservice in a serverless way using gatsby. The extract resulted in a performance improvement of 3x for time to interact with the website. Carried out concept and implementation of a product for SEM campaign creation at scale utilising a geodatabase. Using the tool marketeers are able to launch thousands of SEM ads in a structured and efficient way. ​

Building a tracking infrastructure using Apache Kafka. Implementing a last-click attribution model and creating marketing reports. These initiatives formed the foundation for making data-driven decisions in marketing across the company. Calculation target cost per acquisition based on historic data for paid marketing which increased the efficiency of SEM ads.

"Airgora is an online community and marketplace for Industrial / Product / Furniture Designers. Its a platform which helps designers of physical products to showcase their work directly to people who are looking for them, in order to promote and sell their products and services." (Leona Hu Hudelson, Founder and Design Director).

The Platform offers similar functionalities to the platform behance or dribbble with a focus on industrial designers: follow users and teams, list products in your portfolio, list products for sale, manage product SKUs, inventory and customer orders, like products, get notifications, comment on products, create a team or user profile.

I started developing the airgora platform after the launch of beta 1.0 which included mainly static content and implemented all functionality to transformed the product into a dynamic designer network and marketplace.

I co-founded and was CEO of the TravelTech startup 99trips. At 99trips we do technology based curated shopping.
I started developing the first prototype of the 99trips platform in November 2014. We incorporate the 99trips GmbH in July 2015 and are now a team of five people dedicated to change the way people travel around Europe.

At 99trips we inspire our users with amazing citytrips. Our smart travel-technology analyzes over 1 million citytrips every day and notifies our users when an amazing offer is identified. We find the most attractive offers, based on price-development, availability and quality features. A 99trips-citytrip always includes a direct-flight and a premium-hotel for a great price. Booking the perfect citytrip at 99trips is convenient and timesaving.

The infrastructure behind 99trips is hosted on AWS. There are two ElasticBeanstalk autoscaling environments one for the frontend which is a AngularJS App and one for the backend which is a Ruby on Rails app. Additionally there is a worker environment where the 99trips algorithm analyzes and stores citytrip data 24/7.
