Who I am

Rafael Lazenhofer
Vienna, Austria
SQUER · Lead Coding Architect
B.Sc. Computer Science
Meetup Organizer

I'm a Lead Architect and Technology Consultant based in Vienna with over 6 years of hands-on experience building and leading complex software systems. Currently at SQUER, I drive technical leadership, architecture planning, and full-stack TypeScript development for ambitious products.

My background spans cloud architecture, DevOps strategy, microservices design, and legacy system modernization across industries including public services, energy, automotive, and media — much of it at Accenture, where I grew from associate to technology architect in three years.

Beyond the day job, I channel my passion for the craft into the community as the organizer and speaker at the Softwarearchitektur Wien Meetup — bringing together architects, engineers, and technologists across Vienna to share knowledge, patterns, and hard-won lessons.
