I build at the intersection of hardware and software — from patented sensor technology and nRF firmware to Flutter apps, AWS cloud architectures, and AI-driven analytics. Founder of Kubikos (German patent holder). MSc Mechatronics (Robotics, with distinction). Exhibited at FIBO & ISPO. Building complex systems across fitness, health tech, hospitality, and renewable energy.

01 / About

Engineer &
Builder

Based in Salzburg, Austria, I founded Kubikos GmbH — a patented sensor platform that digitises analogue gym equipment for real-time AI-driven strength training analytics. Sensor accuracy validated at 99% with Paris Lodron University Salzburg. Partnered with Hammer Sport AG; exhibited at FIBO and ISPO Munich. I also run Sport Performance Systems e.U. as a freelance software engineering consultancy.

My background is in mechatronics and robotics (MSc with distinction, JKU Linz; JKU Study Abroad Excellence Award), with a second master's in Legal & Business Aspects in Technology. Certified IPMA Project Manager, Strategic & Technical Product Manager. My stack spans firmware for Nordic nRF chips to Flutter apps, AWS cloud architectures, HL7 healthcare messaging, and Modbus energy monitoring.

Before founding Kubikos, I led engineering teams at BEKO Engineering & Informatik, developed control systems at Kormaran, and spent a decade at Siconnex in the semiconductor industry. FFG grant recipient for in-situ energy harvesting research. Startup Salzburg FACTORY alumnus and Investors Lounge winner.
