No more chores. Just results.

How I can help

Automation, optimization, and strategic technology decisions — from a founder who's done it all hands-on.

Automation & AI Integration

No more chores. I eliminate repetitive work with Python scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-powered workflows. If your team does it manually and repeatedly, it should be automated — with or without AI.

Cloud Architecture & Cost Optimization

Lean, scalable infrastructure without the waste. I reduced my own company's infra costs by €100K+/year — with a team of just five people.

🎯

Technical Architecture & Strategy

Choose the right technologies, avoid expensive mistakes. I evaluate tech stacks and design architectures that scale with your business.

🔧

Self-Hosted Tooling & Data Sovereignty

Own your data, reduce SaaS spend. I set up and manage self-hosted Git, monitoring, error tracking, CI/CD and more — giving you full control.

📋

Technical Due Diligence

Objective evaluation of tech stacks, architectures and teams for investors, acquirers or board-level decisions.

🛡

Fractional CTO & SOC/Compliance

Strategic tech leadership without full-time cost. Including SOC 1 certification — which I achieved in record time of 6 months for two platforms simultaneously.

Physicist. AI Specialist. Founder.

Johannes Zelger portrait

I studied Physics at the University of Innsbruck, then worked as an IT consultant — promoted to Senior Consultant within my first year. I went on to earn my Master's in AI at the University of St Andrews, graduating as the top science graduate of my year.

In 2021 I founded Finidy Solutions and built two enterprise SaaS platforms from scratch — Incentrium and Finflexia. Bootstrapped to €500K+ ARR with a team of five and zero outside funding. I picked every technology, designed the architecture, set up the infrastructure, and drove SOC 1 certification.

My obsession is eliminating waste — wasted time, wasted money, wasted effort. Whether it's a Python script that replaces a weekly 4-hour manual process or an architecture decision that cuts your cloud bill in half, I find the lever and pull it.
