Christoph Lagger
CURRENT POSITION: Senior Software Engineer, IT-Project Manager at STRABAG SE
STUDENT AT ITEC/AAU: 2005-2018 (Computer Science and Information Management)
SHORT BIOGRAPHY:
I followed a rather unconventional path which led me to start studying computer science and information management at the University of Klagenfurt. In the year 2000 I got the opportunity for an apprenticeship in computer science. After three years of a practical and theoretical education I graduated with honors, followed by three more certificates in this domain. In 2003 I started working as a junior software engineer and database architect at one of the leading construction companies in Europe, STRABAG SE, to which I am still loyal until today. Also in 2003 I started to attend an evening school to get my A-Level exam. Two years later I finished and then started studying computer science and information management at the University of Klagenfurt. Finally in 2012 I graduated Computer Science, followed by a Masters degree in Information Management in 2018.
WHAT ARE YOUR MEMORIES OF ITEC/AAU?
During my time at ITEC/AAU I was able to combine and complete my existing practical knowledge in the broad area of computer science and economy as well as sharpen my social skills, besides having a demanding job. Motivated, understanding and knowledgeable Professors and the helpful university staff as well as a flexible schedule made this possible. I really appreciate the interpersonal level of communication and openness I experienced with the Professors, especially with Mathias Lux and Peter Schartner. I am also thankful that I had the chance to study one semester abroad at the Florida Atlantic University, which was made possible through ITEC and Professor Oge Marqes. My memory of AAU and ITEC is throughout positive, I made great friendships and was offered such a great education in an open and friendly environment.
