Summary
Florian Auer is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with 11 years of hands-on software and product experience, currently running CAD-similarity and custom-software efforts that save industrial manufacturers hundreds of thousands to millions of euros annually. He combines deep machine‑engineering domain knowledge with a .NET-centric engineering practice (.NET MAUI, Xamarin, ASP.NET) to deliver SaaS, on‑prem and air‑gapped solutions and bespoke integrations for customers like Microsoft Deutschland, Flughafen München and Deutsche Post. As founder/CEO of araucon he built a CAD-indexing product that quickly uncovers geometric duplicates in large STEP libraries and pairs pilots with clear PoCs before spending, cutting needless redesign work at scale. Florian is equally comfortable architecting mobile and desktop applications as he is integrating AI tooling (LLMs & Semantic Kernel) into industrial workflows, and he routinely structures projects to be highly fundable under DACH grant programs. Based in Bavaria, he blends startup agility with enterprise delivery discipline and a bias toward measurable cost savings.
