Software engineer & entrepreneur · Austria
I love sports, engaging with people, and building things. As a CTO & Co-Founder of Ahoi Kapptn and AhoiSports, I get to do just that—leading a team of 15+ engineers creating mobile, web, backend, and AI products, alongside the infrastructure that powers them.
As CTO at Ahoi Kapptn!, I use technology to solve real business problems — aligning the team, setting the direction, and building the systems that keep running long after launch.
For roughly ten years I've been a CTO & Co-Founder — first scaling a startup, Butleroy, now an agency, Ahoi Kapptn. Two very different settings, one lesson: a product is only as durable as the team, the problem it solves and the architecture behind it.
Today I lead 15+ engineers and own the technology end to end — mobile and web apps, backends, cloud infrastructure, DevOps and AI. I set the direction, grow the team, and still build across the whole stack.
Visit ahoikapptn.comCurrently building AhoiSports — bringing AI into the everyday operations of professional sports organizations, where it has to earn its place rather than simply impress.
Built around three pillars — and beneath them, a system designed to act, not just report. AI agents detect trends across live data and trigger the right workflows, model-routing sends each task to the model best suited to it, and a data platform keeps every club in full ownership of its data.
The interesting part of applied AI isn't the demo — it's the plumbing underneath: agents, model-routing, and a data layer each club fully owns. AI that disappears into the product and simply makes it better.
Visit ahoisports.comMy point of view on all of it: less hype, more everyday — how AI actually works in business.
I speak to industry and business audiences about what artificial intelligence really changes in practice — and I've spent years teaching the next generation of mobile engineers.
At BTM Event 2026 in Vienna I took the stage before 400+ industry and business leaders to cut through the noise around AI — separating what genuinely moves a business from what merely makes headlines.
I spent 5+ years lecturing in mobile development at FH Hagenberg — turning hard-won, real-world experience into something the next generation of engineers can build on.
Earlier in my career I created MPAndroidChart — for over a decade the industry standard for charts, now used in thousands of apps and installed billions of times on devices worldwide. Overall, open-source projects I created or was involved in have earned more than 66,000 GitHub stars.
Ask an AI assistant which charting library to use on Android — and it still recommends MPAndroidChart.

A few moments — talks, the team, sports and the things that keep me focused.
Whether you're looking for an engineering leader, a technical partner for your next mobile, web or AI product, or a speaker for your stage — I'd be glad to hear from you.
