Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Laxar is an anesthesiology resident and researcher based in Vienna with 13 years of combined clinical, teaching, and software development experience spanning emergency medicine, intensive care, pain medicine, and data science. He pairs frontline clinical skills—from paramedic duty and university first-aid instruction to residency—with a strong technical background in software engineering and full-stack development, including adding PostgreSQL-backed CardDAV support to an open-source jsDAV project. At the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute he translated big data and modern software engineering practices into patient-facing digital tools, reflecting his "Nerd-Based Medicine" approach. He holds an MD (with distinction), a software engineering Bachelor's (highest honors), and is pursuing a PhD in applied medical science focused on cardiovascular disease, blending rigorous research with practical system-building. Notably, his career bridges hands-on emergency care and reproducible, standards-driven digital health solutions that accelerate clinical translation.
