macchina.io is brought to you by Applied Informatics Software Engineering GmbH.
Founded in 2006 by Günter Obiltschnig, a C++ and embedded systems expert, and Maria Obiltschnig, a business growth expert and strategy manager.
Frustrated by the lack of flexible, scalable tools for IoT development, secure remote access and IoT management, Günter started the open source POCO C++ Libraries project in 2004.
This grew into the foundation for macchina.io, a set of commercial tools and services for IoT remote access and edge computing.
Günter leads macchina.io as Chief Technologist, driving the technical direction and software architecture.
Maria, serves as Managing Director, overseeing operations and business.

Günter Obiltschnig Founder & Chief Technologist
In 2004, I started the POCO C++ Libraries, an open source C++ project to enable network and web applications.
Today, POCO powers the IoT and embedded software of hundreds of companies, including Fortune 500 companies.
Under my
leadership, it has grown into a stable, comprehensive and trusted technology with a large developer community.
With decades of experience, I continue to drive macchina.io to push the boundaries of IoT technology.
Outside of work, I enjoy my family, sailing, music and travel. I've lived from San Francisco to Austria, where I now reside near the Wörthersee.
Maria Obiltschnig Founder & Managing Director
As founder and managing director of Applied Informatics, my goal is to lead the company's IoT software innovation. I oversee our strategy, vision, and solutions to help customers digitally
transform their businesses.
I work with our brilliant development team and partners to stay at the forefront of this space.
Outside of work, I love to travel, especially to warm coastal locations. As a mum, I also value time with my family, and watching my daughter grow up. Maintaining a work-life balance is important to me, and my hobbies help me achieve this.
"We are very proud to be a macchina.io partner. As an embedded service provider and system integrator since 1985 - we are constantly helping our customers face the challenges
presented by bulky and inefficient edge implementations. Our customers do often face serious performance issues and also ever increasing scalability costs when trying to
empower their machines. Sadly we know a lot of the trouble they're going through is unnecessary and can be avoided using the right infrastructure and tools.
This is why we're very glad that macchina.io in this regard does provide a modular, fast and very cost-effective toolkit for implementing next-level edge solutions."
