Alex and Shane met 5 years ago when they both lived in Hamburg, down the street from each other. They were both volunteering for a workshop to teach programming to refugees, and remained friends since then. They bonded over their love of reading and building products, and now are turning that passion into Beyond.
I'm Shane, born and raised in Australia, but I'm also half Austrian. I moved to Europe in 2015, and have lived here ever since. I love tech, reading, and learning everything I can. I also love to exercise, eat good food, and stay healthy. I'm also a massive music lover — both listening and creating.

I'm Alex, born and raised in Germany. I lived in a couple of places like Hawaii, Boston, London, Hamburg, and some smaller places in South Germany, and now Barcelona. I'm a design and tech enthusiast building products for purpose and solving real problems. When I'm not working on Beyond, I love playing with our Australian Shepherd girl Rovi, going hiking and camping, and reading.
