Summary
Benedikt Hitz-gamper is a research-oriented systems engineer with nine years of experience building federated Linked Open Government Data infrastructures and driving the organisational change needed for public-sector reuse of harmonised data. Based in Bern, he combines hands-on systems engineering work at Lambda-Pi and SBB with applied research and teaching roles at the Institut Public Sector Transformation and Universität Bern, linking technical design to policy and practice. His background in physics, mathematics, informatics and a doctorate in Wirtschaftsinformatik gives him a rare blend of formal analytic thinking and practical implementation skills. Comfortable with algorithms and natural language technologies, he focuses on interoperable data models and pragmatic tooling that make open data genuinely reusable across administrations. As a father and educator he brings patience and clear communication to interdisciplinary teams, smoothing the social side of technical change.
