About me #

I’m a software architect, iSAQB-accredited trainer, and author based in Vienna, working with embarc, a consultancy focused on software architecture.

I studied computer science and started out as a developer. But what always fascinated me most wasn’t the code itself but the bigger picture. How are systems structured? How do decisions get made? How does everything fit together so that the result is reliable, scalable, secure, and maintainable? Software architecture is where those questions live, and that’s where I ended up.

Today I help teams design systems that stay adaptable under real-world pressure. I consult on distributed and agentic systems, run hands-on architecture trainings for developers and architects, and write about the trade-offs and decisions that determine whether software evolves or becomes brittle.

When I’m not thinking about systems, you’ll probably find me playing guitar, at the gym, watching movies, or with a good book.
