I'm Gerd Klingenschmid – a founder, systems architect, and developer based in Austria. I build CRM systems and automation for the energy sector, geospatial intelligence platforms, and web applications for various clients. I like building systems that actually work and scale.
My path to software development wasn't traditional:
Today I focus on CRM architecture, full-stack development, and geospatial systems – plus the occasional website for clients who need something clean and fast.
Designing complex CRM systems with custom data models, workflows, and integrations. At EnergyTIP, I built 40+ workflows, 130+ custom functions, and process 10,000+ automated actions monthly.
Building complete applications from database to UI. I work with Spring Boot and PostgreSQL on the backend, Vue.js on the frontend, with OAuth 2.0 and microservices architecture.
Building mapping platforms for serious analytical work. Ithlin combines MapLibre GL, Cesium 3D, NATO military symbology, and Neo4j knowledge graphs—all offline-capable.
Creating fast, modern websites for businesses. I prefer Astro and Tailwind CSS for marketing sites, and Vue.js when more interactivity is needed.
Websites I've designed and shipped for businesses. Clean, functional, and built to convert.
