The human potential

Extend skills

Empower your development team to grow in both technical depth and confidence. With my experience as a senior architect and mentor, I identify skill gaps, provide targeted coaching, and establish best practices that raise overall code quality and delivery speed.

Extend your crew

Strengthen your team with the right talent. I support you in selecting and onboarding developers through structured technical interviews and team-fit evaluations — ensuring you build a capable, motivated, and future-ready engineering crew.

The AI potential

Smarter customer experiences

By integrating LLMs into your website, I create intelligent, conversational user journeys that answer questions, guide customers, and boost engagement — turning your site into an interactive assistant.

AI as your developer’s co-pilot

I enable teams to use AI tools like ChatGPT or IDE plugins to find better solutions in shorter time and focus on creativity — making AI an everyday accelerator for innovation.

The software-development process

Define clear and actionable requirements

Avoid costly misunderstandings and wasted effort. As a certified Requirements Engineer, I help you translate business goals into precise, testable, and measurable requirements — ensuring developers always know exactly what to build. Using frameworks like ISO 9126, I connect functional and non-functional needs to deliver predictable, high-quality results.

Build high-quality, scalable architectures

Software quality is not optional — it drives performance, security, and long-term cost efficiency. I design architectures focused on scalability, maintainability, and resilience, ensuring your systems can grow with your business without technical debt.

As a certified Software Architect, I guide your team in applying proven design patterns and architectural principles to deliver sustainable software that supports future innovation.

Enable a seamless software lifecycle

From planning to deployment and maintenance — I establish a smooth, automated lifecycle with CI/CD pipelines, version control, and release management. This minimizes downtime, accelerates delivery, and ensures every release adds value to your users.

Adopt agile and deliver results

As a certified Scrum Master, I introduce agile frameworks that empower teams to deliver iteratively, stay aligned with business goals, and continuously improve. The result: faster delivery, higher quality, and more motivated teams.

Leverage the power of the cloud

Harness the full potential of AWS and Azure to scale globally and operate efficiently. With deep expertise in cloud architecture, virtualization, and Linux systems, I help you design secure, automated, and cost-optimized infrastructures that accelerate your business growth.

Enable creativity and discover game-changing ideas

Unleash potential

Innovation starts with collaboration. I create an environment where developers and stakeholders exchange ideas freely, leading to new insights and creative solutions that turn technical challenges into opportunities for real progress.

Think beyond today

To outperform competitors, you must anticipate tomorrow’s needs. As a Solution Architect, I help you identify emerging trends and translate them into practical innovations — from scalable cloud platforms to AI solutions powered by LLMs. Together, we design the future of your business before others can imagine it.

Providing the right infrastructure

Successful cloud development depends on a solid foundation. I help you design the right mix of on-premises and cloud infrastructure — secure, scalable, and cost-efficient. Together with your admins and developers, we ensure seamless environments, reliable backups, and strong security as the backbone of your software delivery.

Launch your startup

Turn your vision into a scalable, investor-ready product. With my experience as CTO in multiple startups, I help you build the right technical foundation — from architecture and cloud strategy to assembling and mentoring the development team. You gain a reliable partner who understands both technology and business, enabling you to grow globally and innovate beyond market standards.

  • " I have used Andreas Hernitscheck for a range of different projects since 2006. For example, he implemented a complex internet venture and managed a team of software engineers early on. Moreover, he designed and implemented a new IT system in our patent law firm and migrated the previous data to the new environment. Since then he has been advising the firm in IT matters and managed the IT support team. Andreas Hernitscheck always impressed me with his problem-solving skills and his ability to communicate complex subject matter in ways which I felt I could understand. His people skills and efficiency made that I feel very lucky to be able to rely on him whenever any IT relating questions arise. I can recommend Andreas Hernitscheck without any hesitation or limitation. "
