Thomas Pamminger has been shipping software for 25 years, and some of it refuses to die: Fluxiom, the SaaS he launched in 2006, is still running in its third decade; its users have included the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Prada, and Steinway. From 2000 to 2016 he ran Wollzelle, the studio he founded; its best-known work is Gucci.com, the start of seventeen years with the house — "a benchmark in the industry," by Gucci's own account. In 2017 he co-founded WeAreDevelopers, the global developer platform behind the world's largest developer congress, where he is Chief Product Officer. On its stages he has interviewed Werner Vogels, David Heinemeier Hansson, and the CTOs of Figma and Stripe. Since 2025 he runs Labs, the company's AI unit: two people shipping weekly, making ten years of conference talks searchable down to the minute. Ask a question, land on the moment that answers it. He trained in informatics first, then as an architect at TU Wien. Away from the screen he races bikes. Next up: Badlands, 820km of gravel through the Andalusian desert.
