Early life and education
Engelke was born in Geraldton, Western Australia. He holds a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Western Australia, majoring in electrical and electronic engineering, physics, and applied mathematics.[1]
Career
In 2014 (later cited as 2015 by Oxford Investment Consultants), Engelke co‑founded the education technology startup BibliU (originally named Bibliotech) alongside David Sherwood and Tao Mantaras, while studying at UWA and during Oxford University enterprise programmes. He served as the company’s chief technology officer.[2][3]
BibliU was described by the Australian Financial Review as the “Spotify of textbooks” for its on-demand, low-cost access model. The company raised approximately AUD 5 million in seed funding in 2018, followed by US$12 million in Series A in 2020 and £12 million (approx. US$15 million) in Series B in 2022.[3][4][5]
The West Australian featured Engelke in a 2019 profile of the founding team of BibliU, describing his role as chief technical officer and co-founder. The article highlighted the Perth-based origins of the company and its early growth trajectory.[1]

In 2021, Forbes contributor Bruce Rogers profiled BibliU’s progress, noting that Sherwood and Engelke “were named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list in 2019.” Engelke is named explicitly as co‑founder and CTO in that context.[7]
Engelke later co‑founded HowdyGo alongside Tom Bruining and Umberto Anderle. The platform enables SaaS companies to create interactive, self-guided product demos for marketing, sales enablement, onboarding, and support.[8]
