Matthias Berger
CEO
I’m Matthias Berger, one of Schäuffelhut Berger GmbH’s CEOs with a rich history in successful Java and C++ projects since 1997. As a versatile software generalist, I excel in developing diverse web and desktop applications, along with designing enterprise client/server solutions.
My expertise in GIS and animal tracking software is underscored by my long-standing involvement in the Movebank project since 2008, which greatly contributes to the development of Firetail.
Firetail represents the natural evolution of the Movebank Acceleration Viewer, a software solution that I personally developed. Serving as the pioneering platform, it revolutionized the interactive display of vast acceleration data sets.
My passion lies in transforming large data sets into tangible 2D and 3D visualizations, uncovering meaningful insights. Let’s embark on an exciting journey to redefine software development and create remarkable solutions together.

Scientific conception and development of Firetail

I enjoy fiddling with algorithmic problems and I put particular emphasis on visualization and practical applicability of projects.
