About

Senior Engineer & Technical Team Lead

I'm Christof Karisch, a software engineer and technical team lead based in Klagenfurt, Austria. For 15+ years I've been building web applications, leading engineering teams, and shipping quality software.

I'm part of formundzeichen.at, an agency network where I contribute development and technical expertise. I work independently on projects as a senior engineer and team lead — hands-on, operational, focused on getting things done.

How I Work

Hands-on approach

I write code and lead teams. Not just advice from the sidelines — I'm in the project, shipping with you.

Direct communication

No corporate speak. Clear, honest updates about what's working and what's not.

Pragmatic solutions

Choose tools and approaches that solve the problem, not what's trendy. Ship quality software.

Operational focus

I run projects day-to-day. Sprint planning, code reviews, team coordination — the real work.
