A calling card, kept current
Louis
Huppenbauer
CTO & Software Developer — Healthcare IT Strategist & Creative Problem‑Solver
I connect medical practice and technology, building the software Swiss healthcare professionals actually rely on.
Mission
My mission
As CTO at Vitabyte AG, I set IT strategy and steer the technology behind our healthcare platform, aiming to keep it simple, secure, and effective. I’ve spent 10+ years working across PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, and Linux server management, and I’m at my best connecting problems that span more than one layer of the stack.
My focus is building solutions that hold up under real clinical workloads, so Swiss healthcare professionals can spend less time fighting their tools and more time on patient care.
Off the clock
Off the clock
When I’m not working in IT and healthcare, I’m a husband and father of three, fully involved in their daily lives — and I share my home with a dog and a cat who keep things lively. Working flexibly means I actually get to be there for it.
Mental health awareness — particularly neurodivergence — and LGBTQIA+ rights are causes I actively advocate for; empathy and equality matter to me at work and outside it. Otherwise, I’m probably lost in a fantasy or sci-fi novel, an audiobook, or whatever music fits the day.
