Our team

Managing Director | CEO

As a qualified electrical engineer, Klaus has earned many laurels in the management of numerous software projects in recent years and has supported our customers in digitization. He prefers to spend his free time on the ridges of the Eastern and Western Alps and the Himalayas. He is a passionate mountain rescuer and alpine paramedic.

Chief Financial Officer | Software Engineer

Lucia, who has a degree in computer science and business administration, comes from the beautiful Walsertal valley, just like Klaus. In addition to her work and the mountain rescue service, she is always up for a mountain adventure, and her penchant for the extreme is in her genes, so to speak.

Technical Director | CTO

Our second Klaus – known internally as K2 – comes from the Bregenzerwald and, despite his young age, already has many years of experience in software development. He is responsible for requirements engineering, technology, design and architecture. In his private life, he is also often out and about on his bike, skis or rope – the main thing is that it goes up as steeply as possible and back down again.

Software Engineer

As ‘Eggar’ (known for his award-winning beer), Fabian has a long commute to work and therefore uses an electric car to save costs. Despite his young age, he already has extensive experience in (web) development, including on mobile devices. He is now continuing his football career in the reserve team after years in the first team.

Software Engineer

As a thoroughbred technician, Johannes has many years of experience in software development as well as solid hardware and system knowledge. His communicative and energetic nature is well received by colleagues and customers alike – only on Thursday mornings is he sometimes a little quiet.

Software Engineer

Johannes – aka Johnny – supports our team as a software developer, where he puts his knowledge and enthusiasm for technology into practice. In addition to working in front of a keyboard and screen, Johnny likes to spend his free time on the volleyball court or on the beautiful local ski slopes.

Embedded Systems Engineer

One of David’s hobbies is programming – where better than with us. He certainly has what it takes. David sometimes swaps the click of the keyboard for the click of the karabiner on a via ferrata.

Her experience in the areas of project management and organization, databases, agile development processes and IT support means that she is in high demand in our projects. In her free time, she likes to exercise in the fresh air, preferably on a mountain bike (without a battery!). However, she would prefer to spend the winter in the tropics or the Caribbean.

He enjoys working with hardware and needs contact with electrical engineering. In his free time, Johannes enjoys being outdoors. In winter, he rides a splitboard, which elicits a sardonic smile from skiers on the way up, but turns into envious glances on the descent.

Software Engineer

Born in the beautiful Bregenzerwald, Kaspar moved to Vienna to study electrical engineering. It couldn’t be a better fit for a man from the forest in Vienna to have landed in the PHIOS team, which is full of people from Vorarlberg and also has an international character. The perfect conditions to get his career off to a flying start. In his free time, Kaspar pursues one thing above all: climbing. Whether on the rock, on ice, with or without a rope, it doesn’t matter to him. The main thing is outside and steep.

Whenever he can, he feeds his creative spirit with new challenges and new cultures. This has led him to have a long list of hobbies, including drums, audiovisual creation and board games. You can always find a few animal hairs on his sweatshirt.

Software Engineer

Tobias is a Feldkircher by choice with roots in Nenzing. He discovered his passion for software development quite late in life. He gave up his commercial career after the HAK in Feldkirch to study Medical Informatics at the UMIT in Tyrol. After graduating, he was able to start in the field of web development to offer online photo and large format printing. He then moved on to machine-oriented backend development, where he implemented various projects with customer contact for well over a decade. However, when he realized that he was “atrophying” more and more into a product manager and product owner, he fled to Phios in order to be able to do a little more software development again.

Software Engineer

Growing up at over 1000m above sea level in the harsh but beautiful surroundings of the Montafon, it was clear to him early on that his future career would have to be in electronics and IT. His experience in production, test equipment construction, hardware and software development covers a very broad spectrum, which he always brings to our projects. In his free time, he occasionally tortures his guitar and likes to go for a ride on his motorcycle.

Product Owner | Scrum Master

Sunnyboy Peter from “Dorobiro” always has a cheerful smile on his face and creates a good atmosphere. He performs his role as Product Owner with a great deal of commitment and experience and always manages to form extremely effective project teams. (Almost) nothing upsets him. Only when he can’t strap on his touring skis in winter due to several days of bad weather … that’s when things get critical.

Software Engineer

Martin is a computer scientist “from the second hour”. Even though he has narrowly escaped punch cards, he has had to endure many “horrors” in the field of software development and therefore greatly appreciates achievements such as git, SCRUM, unit testing and the convenience of modern programming languages. Thanks to the diverse experience he has gained over the last quarter of a century, he usually has an idea when things get really “crunchy”… or at least an acquaintance who might have an idea. He is particularly enthusiastic when software meets mathematics. Then the odd night or even a family outing is sacrificed on the altar of knowledge.

Innovation & Digital Consultant

Ronny discovered an early passion for software development and digitalization and the endless possibilities that the digital world has to offer. While he once wrote line after line of code and was directly involved in the development of software, he has now shifted his attention to the strategic aspects of digitalization. The focus today is on promoting innovation and designing digital products and platforms, mostly based on cloud technologies. Ronny firmly believes that the successful future lies in the skillful combination of innovation, technology, user experience and business strategy.
