Hi, I'm Mathias Ertl.
Senior software engineer & team lead, based in Vienna, Austria.
I currently work at TTControl, where I lead an international team focusing on integrating AI into our development workflow, Linux application development, IT security and our CI/CD infrastructure.
As team lead, I care about an open and friendly work atmosphere - I believe you can only perform to your full potential if you feel valued. I value both pragmatism and a commitment to quality; balancing the two yields good software with reasonable effort.
As a software engineer, I specialize in Python and Django, cloud computing and backend systems, and have deep knowledge of IT security and Linux systems. As any engineer should, I love learning new technologies, patterns and tricks.
When not working, I contribute to open source projects (most prominently django-ca). I'm a local activist and elected member of the district council, trying to make my local area a better place. I also enjoy gardening, cycling and reading.
