About Me
Hello! I'm Oto Macenauer, a Tech Lead and full-stack developer with over a decade of experience. Currently leading development of cloud-native financial applications at Absa Group, I combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership — guiding architecture decisions and mentoring teams.
My expertise spans the full technology stack — from .NET and C# on the backend to modern frontend work in Angular and Vue. I've shipped geospatial systems, banking platforms, and cloud-native applications running on AWS and Kubernetes, with PostgreSQL and SQL Server in the data layer.
Across roles at Accenture, Trask, GPS Dozor, iOCO, and Absa, I've led technical transformations and delivered complex projects for clients including Škoda Auto, Česká pojišťovna, and ČSOB Pojišťovna. Trained at Brno University of Technology and Czech Technical University in Prague.
