Summary
Raphael Ochsenbein is an architecture owner based in Zurich with a decade of experience designing and guiding IT systems across finance, consulting, and nonprofit sectors. Currently shaping architecture at PostFinance, he pairs enterprise-grade system thinking with hands-on consulting experience from VIU AG and IBM. He co-founded Travel for Change Africa, reflecting a blend of technical leadership and social entrepreneurship that extends beyond traditional IT roles. Early work ranges from embedded C++ in tolling systems to IT management in Madagascar, showing a pragmatic comfort with both low-level engineering and operational reliability. Multilingual and cross-cultural, he draws on Swiss and Cameroonian roots and a BA in Social Sciences to translate complex requirements into human-centered technical solutions. His Github persona, "Cybershaman by the Graces of Electron," hints at a creative, systems-oriented mindset that values craft as much as architecture.
