Available to hire
Hi, I’m Silvan Fischer, an IT professional with over 15 years of experience specializing in mobile, embedded, and IoT systems. I love creating scalable solutions and leading teams through the entire software development lifecycle, from concept to production. My passion lies in clean code, user-centric design, and continuous delivery.
I’ve had the privilege to work with diverse clients and projects, ranging from media apps and health insurance portals to startup ventures. When I’m not coding or mentoring developers, I enjoy teaching university students and sharing knowledge within the tech community. Outside work, I spend my time with my family, kitesurfing, skiing, and traveling.
