Twenty years building the foundation.
Now building the company.
I trained as a software engineer and spent my career in some of the most demanding regulatory environments in tech - medical devices, air traffic control, health informatics. I led global quality operations, represented Austria in international AI and health IT standardisation, and audited the security practices of life-critical systems. In 2026, all of it points toward one thing: founding Donza.
It began with a B.Sc. in Medical Information Technology and an M.Sc. in Health Care IT, then R&D writing medical-imaging software. The engineering never stopped - it just kept gaining judgment along the way.
I'm happiest turning an idea into a real, deployed product that solves a real problem - and building it so well that people trust it with what matters. In regulated software, trust is the feature everything else hangs on.
