About

I’m Michael Bauer-Wapp, an independent software developer from Austria. I work fully remotely.

My interest in computers started when I was quite young. I’ve always liked to tinker around and was the person in the family known for being good with these new technologies.

Throughout my school years, I was more interested in maths and computers than in languages or other subjects. I was on the fence between studying math or computer science, but ultimately decided to take the programming route. I started programming before university and have continued ever since.

After completing my Master’s degree in computer science at the Technical University of Vienna, I worked at various companies before finally deciding to switch from full-time employment to becoming an independent software developer, working with various businesses along the way.

My passion lies in being a professional partner for people looking to build software projects. I have a business-forward mindset and understand the needs and tradeoffs necessary to build a company. I help guide and navigate the technical challenges along the way, and I will happily make sure your software is capable of achieving what you require from it.

Nowadays, I specialize in modern web development, mostly doing Ruby on Rails and Next.js work.

If you ever need a reliable and highly skilled partner for your software project, I’m here to help.

Michael
