A New Chapter: Joining Candera

Thrilled to join Candera as an Engineering Manager, returning to my passion for automotive HMI development. A huge thank you to my former team at Sendance—I'm incredibly proud of what we built together.

I’m thrilled to announce that I have started a new professional adventure as an Engineering Manager at Candera here in Linz. My official title is “Technical Team Lead 2D / 3D HMI Development” and I am incredibly excited to dive into the world of embedded Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). For me, this role also marks a welcome return to the automotive sector, a field I remain deeply passionate about.

Candera is a leading force in HMI development, and its flagship product, CGI Studio, is at the forefront of creating sophisticated and intuitive graphical interfaces for modern vehicles, medical devices, industrial machines, and even white goods. This position is a perfect blend of my passion for Human-Computer Interaction, my research background, and my drive to lead talented technical teams. The opportunity to contribute to the future of user interfaces in such a dynamic and innovative environment is something I am very much looking forward to.

This new beginning also marks the end of a very rewarding chapter at sendance.at. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire sendance team. My time there was a fantastic journey into the world of smart sensor technology and its applications in the med-tech space. I am especially proud of the accomplishments of my team, particularly in building the sendance-cloud, an innovative sensor data platform for the sendance-grid. The team’s dedication and talent were instrumental in bringing this vision to life.

As I mentioned in one of my recent LinkedIn posts, leaving Sendance was not an easy decision. I am incredibly proud of what we built together and wish the company all the best for its promising future.

Now, my focus shifts to the exciting challenges and opportunities at Candera. I am eager to start working with my new team to push the boundaries of 2D and 3D HMI development. I hope to share some peeks into my work and the fascinating world of HMI design soon!

Stay tuned for more updates as I embark on this new journey!
