Markus Paschke | Android Engineer

Hi, I'm Markus Paschke

I have a passion for music, medicine, travel and sport related topics.

I partner with OEMs to make Spotify the ultimate road trip companion, working across product and engineering to shape seamless in-car jam sessions.

About Me

Working as a Partner Engineer at Spotify in Stockholm, where I'm part of a talented team collaborating with leading automotive brands to shape the future of in-car entertainment and bring next-generation Spotify experiences to drivers worldwide.

Previously, I built the Audiobook experience in Spotify's mobile client, crafting high-quality Android applications that connect millions of users with their favorite content.

My journey has taken me through exciting projects in the automotive industry, working on mobile apps for brands like Audi, Porsche, and Bentley.
