Co-founder, CTO at ShapeDiver
Vienna, Austria
Summary
👤
SeniorAlexander Schiftner is a co-founder and CTO with a decade of experience building cloud-native platforms that expose parametric CAD via scalable REST APIs. Based in Vienna, he designed ShapeDiver’s multi-tiered architecture and leads its development, product strategy, and key-account engineering for clients from startups to Fortune 500s. An applied mathematician and former Technical Director at Evolute, he brings deep domain expertise in geometry, CAD/CAM/BIM, optimisation, manufacturing technologies, and architectural workflows. He uniquely blends hands-on systems architecture and DevOps with practical knowledge of production data export and CPQ/eCommerce 3D configurators— capabilities rare among client-only configurators. Comfortable across Rhino/Grasshopper integrations and multi-region cloud operations, he also maintains involvement in day-to-day engineering rather than purely executive duties.
