Senior🎓
Top SchoolGian Ott is an Application Manager based in Zurich with nine years of hands-on experience in application development and support, currently responsible for managing critical bank applications at Luzerner Kantonalbank. Trained through a Swiss vocational pathway and a BSc program at Lucerne UAS, he progressed from an apprenticeship and support roles at Komax to his current operational and stakeholder-facing role, combining practical engineering with strong process discipline. He thrives on continuous learning—his credo "Labores non fugiendi" reflects a pragmatic, improvement-driven approach that values lessons from both successes and failures. Comfortable bridging technical and operational teams, he focuses on reliable, maintainable solutions and is selective about technologies (he admits he’s not a fan of printers or PHP). His background includes brief military service and diverse internships, giving him resilience and adaptability under pressure. Colleagues would describe him as motivated by challenges and methodical about turning new knowledge into production-ready practice.
