Jakob Prossliner is a consultant and MPA student based in Vienna with 10 years of professional experience bridging public administration, energy scheduling, and technical engineering. He combines a strong interest in economics, finance and public policy with practical data analysis skills (R) and hands-on back-end contributions to high-profile open-source container tooling like Podman. At Alperia he worked on scheduling and settlement processes, and now consults at PowerBot, applying both domain knowledge and systems thinking to operational problems. His work on Podman fixed race conditions, API model issues, and added Kubernetes-related features—demonstrating attention to stability and interoperability in production-grade software. Trilingual academic experience across Italy and France complements his technical profile with international policy and diplomatic perspectives. This mix of public-sector insight and low-level infrastructure contribution makes him effective at translating complex policy requirements into reliable, data-driven implementations.
