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 engineers creating mobile, web, backend, and AI products, alongside the infrastructure that powers them.

Leading engineers — and the products we build.

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. Increasingly, that means putting AI to work — and helping other companies do the same.

Currently building AhoiSports — bringing AI into the everyday operations of professional sports organizations, where it has to earn its place rather than simply impress.

AhoiSports

AI-native platform for professional sports organizations

Built around three pillars — and beneath them, a system designed to act & enhance, not just report. AI detects trends across data and triggers the right workflows, while keeping every club in ownership of its data.

1Fan Engagement — reaching every supporter personally across app, website, streaming and email, not mass communication.

2Commercial Operations — ticketing, merchandising and sponsorships, optimized through data to unlock revenue.

3Sport Performance — player analysis, scouting and squad planning, all data-driven.

Built into the work

Where the platform earns its keep

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.

My point of view on all of it: less hype, more everyday — how AI actually works in business.

Trusted to take the stage on technology & AI 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.

Lecturer

FH Hagenberg

After finishing my Master's, I spent 5+ years lecturing at FH Hagenberg (part time) — turning real-world experience into something the next generation of engineers can build on.

A library that quietly ended up everywhere.

MPAndroidChart & its iOS sibling

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 60,000 GitHub stars.

Ask an AI which charting library to use on Android — it will recommend MPAndroidChart.

A lifetime of building, across ventures & industries.

I wrote my fist line of code in my early teens. My path runs through the full arc of building and shipping software — from a master's in Mobile Computing to open source used worldwide, and on to leading engineering teams in startups, agencies and AI.
