Mission

My mission

As CTO at VITABYTE AG, I drive IT strategy and digital transformation to make healthcare technology simple, secure, and effective. With 10+ years of experience, I combine deep technical expertise—PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, and Linux server management—with strong interconnected thinking abilities and adaptive problem-solving skills.

My focus is on delivering scalable, reliable solutions that empower Swiss healthcare professionals to work smarter and provide better patient care.

When I’m not working in IT and healthcare, I’m a husband and father of three, fully involved in their daily lives — and I share my home with a dog and a cat who keep things lively. Flexible work arrangements allow me to be truly present with my family.

I’m passionate about mental health awareness, particularly neurodivergence, and I actively advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights. I believe that empathy and equality are essential in both work and life. When I’m not focused on family or advocacy, you’ll find me lost in a fantasy or sci-fi novel, an audiobook, or exploring whatever music strikes the right chord on that day.
