About

Solution architect at Vivenu in Zurich, working on event ticketing infrastructure. Previously built and led engineering teams at TICKETINO, and helped organize HackZurich and Digital Festival Zurich for several years.

I studied informatics at the University of Zurich (BSc). Outside work, I lead command support for a civil protection unit in the Pfannenstiel region, contribute to OpenStreetMap, and read too much about molecular biology, information design, and Central European history.

The best way to reach me is by email: mail@benjaminschneider.ch.
Also on Twitter, Bluesky, and LinkedIn.
