Software Engineering to the Point. Built on Real Security & Hardware Expertise.
Hello, I am Michael Reikersdorfer. I founded Reikis Code Factory (RCF) in Austria to offer organizations an uncompromising alternative to sluggish agencies with bloated cost structures.
When working with me, there are no rotating account managers, no sales intermediaries, and no empty marketing promises. You speak directly with the developer and security engineer who writes your code. That means direct alignment, rapid turnaround, and Austrian handshake dependability at guaranteed fixed rates.
The Engineering Foundation Behind Every RCF Project
Solid engineering credentials, deep hardware-level comprehension, and years of experience in mission-critical IT security environments.
Education & 12 Years of IT Experience
As an engineer, I look back on 12 years of hands-on experience across system architecture, enterprise software engineering, and modern web technologies. From designing robust business platforms to running 24/7 high-availability cloud and edge infrastructure, I have engineered, tuned, and secured systems of all scales.
- ✓ Solid HTL engineering background & official Austrian Engineer title in electronics & computer science
- ✓ 3 years of executive experience as CISO (information security & compliance)
- ✓ Extensive production expertise with Cloudflare Edge, Linux & distributed systems
Understanding Systems from Circuit to Browser
From my hands-on background as a hardware engineer, I know precisely how silicon, registers, CPU caches, and bus protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN) operate physically. Understanding hardware from the ground up defines my software quality standard: while heavy frameworks burn millions of redundant CPU cycles, I write clean, resource-conserving, and ultra-responsive code that runs effortlessly even on low-powered mobile devices.
- ✓ Extensive practice as a hardware developer (Embedded C/C++, ARM, ESP32, STM32)
- ✓ Optimizing memory footprints, rendering pipelines & latency
- ✓ Zero unnecessary JavaScript abstractions that slow users down
3 Years as CISO: Real Security Management
As an experienced CISO (Chief Information Security Officer), I have been heading corporate information security and risk management at an executive level for 3 years. Information security and data protection (GDPR) are not decorative add-ons: Threat modeling, hardening against OWASP Top 10, Zero-Trust principles, and NIS-2 readiness are built directly into every project from day one.
- ✓ Executive practice: ISO/IEC 27001, BSI baseline & EU NIS-2 requirements
- ✓ Strict Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS & zero US third-party tracking
- ✓ Privacy-by-design: No data leaks, no compliance liabilities
Three Uncompromised Principles
I believe in honest partnerships, mutual respect, and first-class craftsmanship. These principles govern every quotation and line of code:
- 1. Zero Bloat: No 50 WordPress plugins, no heavy framework luggage. Every line serves a measurable purpose and loads under 500ms on mobile.
- 2. Guaranteed Fixed Prices: Binding fixed-rate estimates prior to project start. You never pay a single cent more than agreed.
- 3. Handshake Quality: Direct personal contact, reliable delivery timelines, and long-term dependable support for your business.
