Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Pauly is a Head of Engineering and founder with a decade of experience building SaaS products and leading teams from Zurich. With a background as a physicist (PhD/MSc/BSc from Heidelberg and study stints in Manchester and Singapore), he blends rigorous analytical thinking with pragmatic software architecture—most recently scaling exnaton’s engineering organization after rising through tech lead and developer roles. He co-founded Paulbergman GmbH and built alumnii, a Django/PostgreSQL SaaS used by clients such as Deutsche Bank Alumni and FU Berlin, evidencing both product and technical ownership. Martin’s early startup experience ranges from web agencies to a minimalistic HTML5 word processor, showing a long-standing knack for turning lean ideas into shipped products. Colleagues describe him as curious and multidisciplinary: he applies physics-style problem solving to product and engineering trade-offs while keeping a builder’s focus on reliable systems.
