About

Developer, with an eye for design.

I'm Christoph, a software engineer in Vienna. I build websites and software for clients, often taking on the design and photography as well.

My background is a mix of computer science and business informatics. I studied at the University of Vienna and TU Wien, spent a semester at KTH Stockholm, and have been freelancing alongside my studies since 2019.

I use AI tools for research, prototyping, and development. I review the code, test the result, and take responsibility for what I deliver.

Outside of work, I make specialty coffee and videos for CoffeeXris. My camera usually comes along when I travel.
