Software Engineer · Austria
I'm Santino Pircher, a software engineer with over a decade of experience across industrial automation, fintech, identity systems, and scalable web applications.
02 / Career systems
A decade of engineering across physical systems, regulated finance, identity infrastructure, and independent product development.
@ Independent
Founded and building software products that solve practical problems with modern technology. Leading product development end to end, from architecture and implementation to deployment.
@ RAITEC GmbH
Designed automated testing frameworks for identity and access management systems, covering OAuth2/OIDC, multi-factor authentication, role-based access, and high-concurrency services.
@ Hypo Tirol Bank AG
Worked on core banking systems and customer-facing applications, supporting secure modernization while meeting demanding regulatory and operational requirements.
@ Duroflex Distribution GmbH & Co. KG
Built industrial automation software for HVAC control, embedded and IoT systems for real-time monitoring, and data visualization tools for energy optimization.
03 / Operating profile
I build robust software where technical depth meets practical business value.
My path—from HVAC control and API development for ERP systems to banking platforms and identity infrastructure—has given me a grounded perspective on reliability, security, and scale.
I work across the stack, care about systems that hold up under real-world constraints, and am currently exploring new opportunities in AI.
04 / Applied research
FUEL SAVING OPTIMIZATION
The system frames refueling as a shortest-path search over a graph of fuel stations, using best-first traversal and dominance pruning to eliminate suboptimal states. Evaluation across major German cities demonstrated consistent savings against full-refill and random strategies.
Supervised by: Asst. Prof. Samuele Tosatto and David Drexel, MSc
05 / Open channel
I'm interested in ambitious software products, difficult systems problems, and conversations with people who care about building things well.
