About Us

We're a boutique technical consulting firm based in Austria, specializing in the problems that others can't solve.

Our Story

A Different Kind of Consulting

Aitive Technologies was founded on a simple premise: the most valuable technical consulting comes from people who have actually built things—who have felt the pressure of production systems failing at 3 AM and know what it takes to design systems that don't.

We're not a large consultancy with layers of management and junior staff doing the work. When you engage Aitive, you get direct access to senior expertise—people who have architected systems at scale, pushed performance to the limits, and deployed AI systems before they were fashionable.

Based in Klosterneuburg, Austria, we work with clients across Europe and beyond, bringing deep technical knowledge to complex challenges.

Our Approach

Honest Assessment

We'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Including when AI isn't the answer.

Hands-On Expertise

We don't just advise—we build, debug, and optimize alongside your team.

Deep Technical Knowledge

From low-level systems programming to distributed architecture to modern AI.

Clear Communication

Technical concepts explained clearly, whether to engineers or executives.
