Our team

Managing Director | CEO

As a qualified electrical engineer, Klaus has earned many laurels in the management of numerous software projects in recent years and has supported our customers in digitization. He prefers to spend his free time on the ridges of the Eastern and Western Alps and the Himalayas. He is a passionate mountain rescuer and alpine paramedic.

Chief Financial Officer | Software Engineer

Lucia, who has a degree in computer science and business administration, comes from the beautiful Walsertal valley, just like Klaus. In addition to her work and the mountain rescue service, she is always up for a mountain adventure, and her penchant for the extreme is in her genes, so to speak.

Technical Director | CTO

Our second Klaus – known internally as K2 – comes from the Bregenzerwald and, despite his young age, already has many years of experience in software development. He is responsible for requirements engineering, technology, design and architecture. In his private life, he is also often out and about on his bike, skis or rope – the main thing is that it goes up as steeply as possible and back down again.

Software Engineer

As ‘Eggar’ (known for his award-winning beer), Fabian has a long commute to work and therefore uses an electric car to save costs. Despite his young age, he already has extensive experience in (web) development, including on mobile devices. He is now continuing his football career in the reserve team after years in the first team.

Software Engineer

As a thoroughbred technician, Johannes has many years of experience in software development as well as solid hardware and system knowledge. His communicative and energetic nature is well received by colleagues and customers alike – only on Thursday mornings is he sometimes a little quiet.

Embedded Systems Engineer

One of David’s hobbies is programming – where better than with us. He certainly has what it takes. David sometimes swaps the click of the keyboard for the click of the karabiner on a via ferrata.

Product Owner | Scrum Master

Sunnyboy Peter from “Dorobiro” always has a cheerful smile on his face and creates a good atmosphere. He performs his role as Product Owner with a great deal of commitment and experience and always manages to form extremely effective project teams. (Almost) nothing upsets him. Only when he can’t strap on his touring skis in winter due to several days of bad weather … that’s when things get critical.

Software Engineer

Martin is a computer scientist “from the second hour”. Even though he has narrowly escaped punch cards, he has had to endure many “horrors” in the field of software development and therefore greatly appreciates achievements such as git, SCRUM, unit testing and the convenience of modern programming languages. Thanks to the diverse experience he has gained over the last quarter of a century, he usually has an idea when things get really “crunchy”… or at least an acquaintance who might have an idea. He is particularly enthusiastic when software meets mathematics. Then the odd night or even a family outing is sacrificed on the altar of knowledge.

Innovation & Digital Consultant

Ronny discovered an early passion for software development and digitalization and the endless possibilities that the digital world has to offer. While he once wrote line after line of code and was directly involved in the development of software, he has now shifted his attention to the strategic aspects of digitalization. The focus today is on promoting innovation and designing digital products and platforms, mostly based on cloud technologies. Ronny firmly believes that the successful future lies in the skillful combination of innovation, technology, user experience and business strategy.
