Discover who I am as a person aside from being a veteran in information technology
Hello, I'm Georg. I love to shift technical boundaries and to create what was initially considered impossible. In my professional life I appreciate an innovative environment to introduce new technologies and fulfill challenging missions.
I am an achiever that likes to push limits.
Started professional career as freelancer in software development
Became a dad and started as software developer and IT administrator at Siemens. Today everyone calls it DevOps.
Service delivery manager for client computers and peripherals at Siemens
Recognized that I need technical challenges and moved back to the technical career path as a senior software architect for IT infrastructure monitoring
As a Staff engineer responsible for a team of 8 employees and for the operation of a world-wide web application hosting and IT systems and application monitoring infrastructure
Graduated as a MSc from Klagenfurt University with honors (study alongside work since 1996)
Stepping into test automation infrastructure because IT was in desperate need for a senior IT architect.
Joined Intel's modem development group in 2011 as an architect for test automation systems and modem software development workflow
Besides the work as workflow architect I stepped in to help a team to establish a million dollar savings initiative with the help of big data analytics
Implemented an Amazon S3 compatible content management system for 5+ petabytes of modem trace logs and related artefacts.

No matter if in my professional or private life, I love challenges and I hate to fail. For me failure only happens once you stop trying, until then it's just a learning experience. If you asked my friends, they might say that I'm not the best in all that I do but probably everybody would admit that I always fight hard to be the best. I enjoy working in a team; be it at work or in team sports.
I am blessed with a great son, a charming spouse and wonderful friends with whom I am privileged to enjoy the wonderful area of Carinthia in southern Austria.
Most of my spare time is currently occupied with the renovation of my house - a monster project. But as you know - I love challenges ;-)
