Ilja Pavkovic, MSc in computer science from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, 2000. Occupied intensively with generative software development even during college, he used the framework of his award-winning thesis to lay one of the foundations of openArchitectureWare - today practically the standard MDA/MDD generator framework.

Next worked as a developer and project manager for a pure software development company and for an international trade and services company with integrated enterprise IT. Places his special planning and organizational skills at the disposal of binaeren bauten as managing director and at the disposal of our customers as project manager.

Jost Becker, MSc in computer science from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, 1997. Managing director of binaeren bauten. Having dedicated himself to the paradigm of object orientation only at the end of his studies, he still occasionally dreams of double-dereferencing function pointers.

He developed the ability to lead an efficient and dynamic acting consulting and project firm starting in 1989 during the founding and initial phases of several allied software companies. First taking in impulses and stimuli, later forwarding them to his staff, and then finally responsible for a comprehensive, autarchic corporate unit with a yearly turnover of up to 2 million €.

Oliver Mahnke, MSc in computer science from the University of Lübeck, 2002 - summa cum laude. Model-driven software development is not just a variety of programming for him, but rather the present and future of computer science.

He is perfect for the role of software architect, to which even renowned colleagues for whom he worked on joint projects during his professional activity for a leading IT corporation can attest. Yet at the same time his nature and interests are so far removed from the stereotypes of the classic computer scientist as humanly possible.
