Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimo Obereder is a Full Stack Engineer based in Vienna with a decade of experience building Kotlin/Android and React applications, blending mobile-first craftsmanship with full-stack delivery. He has held senior Android roles at Erste Bank and contributed significant Kotlin refactors to the well-known AnkiDroid open-source project, improving maintainability across core systems like gesture handling and review analytics. As a digital nomad turned founder of his own consultancy, he brings both independent product ownership and enterprise engineering discipline from Modocu Software and other engagements. His background spans hardware-adjacent interests—3D printing and electronics—alongside AI experimentation, reflecting a hands-on tinkerer mindset he dubs “Chaotic Neutral.” Timo holds an M.Sc. in Software Engineering and spent time studying computer science at Korea University, giving him strong academic grounding to complement practical, cross-platform engineering. He’s known for pragmatic refactors and improving developer experience—what he jokingly calls “Verschlimmbesserer,” improving things by making them better in unexpected ways.
