Senior🎓
Top SchoolOlaf Kaiser-otto is a pragmatic technology leader and Co-CTO with over two decades of industry experience and 13 years in senior IT roles, currently helping scale Solar21’s software and energy-data capabilities. He combines deep expertise in energy data management, system integration and web technologies with hands-on architecture and technical leadership from roles at Unic, Ormera and IBM iX. An active open-source maintainer—author of the NEBA framework and former project lead for Eclipse Gemini Blueprint—he brings proven experience shaping developer-facing platforms and enterprise integration patterns. Olaf’s background in content management, Apache Camel-based integrations and microservices reflects a bias for pragmatic, interoperable solutions that bridge legacy systems and cloud-native designs. He holds a Dipl. Inf. from TU Berlin and further advanced studies in databases and leadership, blending technical depth with formal management training. Based in Bern, he’s equally comfortable presenting at conferences as he is mentoring teams to adopt open-source practices in production.
