About me

I was born in Upper Austria. With loving support from my mom and stepdad, I grew up in a small town near Linz. I spent my childhood on sports pitches, where I started to love soccer and became a huge Bayern Munich fan.

After more than two decades in Upper Austria, I met the love of my life and followed her to Vienna. Since then, I live in the most beautiful and most livable city in the world. Our two boys make our family happiness complete. They make me proud every day!

At Untis I can live out my entrepreneurial spirit while using tomorrow's technology to positively impact the learning experiences of our children, teens and young adults of the days beyond tomorrow. I want to thank them a lot and I try to return this trust every day in the work I do.

20 + years of experience in the IT industry
30 + happy clients, enterprises and many more projects
Agile, Transformational, Situational, Servant leadership
Lean management & Lean product development
Emergent architecture
Agile development, Technical excellence & DevOps enthusiasm
