About Me

My name is Christian Edelsbrunner, and I live near Graz, Austria. I work as a Senior Technology Architect at BearingPoint, where I help clients solve complex business challenges using cloud-native technologies and modern software solutions.

In my spare time, I prioritize spending quality time with my family. When time allows, I enjoy exploring emerging tech trends, experimenting with new technologies, and working on IoT projects—such as enhancing my Smart Home setup or tinkering with my 3D printer.

I'm also passionate about HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) and practice longsword fencing, which combines physical skill with historical tradition.
