About Me

Hi, I'm Ben - I lead IT at Vienna Symphonic Library and build infrastructure that lets musicians express their creativity. My background blends software development, DevOps, and architecture - all rooted in a love for creative and pragmatic problem-solving.
I believe the best tech teams thrive on clarity, trust, transparency, and good humor - not bureaucracy or buzzwords. That's why I want to empower teams to build things that matter, while enjoying the ride.
