Founder and CTO Computer science (M.Sc.) · Ph.D. student in medical science About Hepius “I started Hepius to fix software for doctors. It turned out every industry needs the same care.” Hepius is named after Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. Our first projects were for pediatric practices and pulmonology in Austria: records, letters and workflows that had to be right. Since 2021 we have brought the same discipline to start-ups and SMEs, from AI agent platforms to cloud systems on AWS. Andreas studied computer science and is a Ph.D. student in medical science, which is why AI and healthcare sit side by side here. Paperless, remote-first, and always with a written plan before the first line of code. Inner circle ## The inner circle. Trusted specialists for cloud, design, product, clinical and HR topics, who join when your project needs them.

Bettina Stelzhammer MSc. CEO, Biomed BEST Thank you for helping me understand the software and technology I need to launch my medical practice. Dr. Mohamed Moursy Orthopedics and Sports Surgery In the early phase of my practice, they helped me with my logo, business cards, website. Dr. Christiane Schönsleben Psychiatrist, Salzburg 01 / 04 How we work ## Efficient. Transparent. Reviewed. No open-ended estimates: you book a monthly hour package, see every hour in a report, and adjust the plan together each month. Monthly hour packages ### Plan with a fixed budget You book a set number of hours per month. Scope and priorities stay flexible, the budget stays predictable. Full transparency ### See where every hour goes Every hour is logged and reported. You always know what was done, by whom, and what comes next. Regular reviews ### Adjust every month Scheduled review calls keep work aligned with your goals. Scale the package up or down as needs change. Every month Plan Priorities and hours Build Focused delivery Report Hours and results Review Adjust together You own it ### Your project. Your infrastructure. Your code. What we write and set up belongs to you. Source code, cloud resources and infrastructure as code live in your accounts from day one. - Your code In your repository Every line lives in your GitHub from the first commit. No agency copy, no hand-over fee. - Your infrastructure In your cloud account AWS or Google Cloud runs under your account, defined as code with AWS CDK or OpenTofu. Reproducible at any time. - Your choice Maintain it yourself Want to maintain the project yourself later? No problem. Documentation and hand-over are part of the work, not an extra. We dislike models where agencies bill for every change and every test, then keep the source code to tie clients to them forever. You stay free, and we earn the next month by delivering.

Start-ups, SMEs and established companies that want to modernise. Whether you need technical guidance, AI automation or a scalable system design, we tailor the work to your goals. ### How do you price custom software projects? In monthly hour packages instead of open-ended estimates: an hour budget sized to your project, every hour in a report, and the package adjusted together each month. You get a tailored proposal after a free call. To get to know each other first, the lite advisory costs €990 per month and can be paused or cancelled monthly. All prices net, plus 20% VAT. ### Who owns the code and the infrastructure? You do. The code lives in your GitHub from the first commit, cloud resources run in your own AWS or Google Cloud account, and documentation and hand-over are part of the work. You can maintain the project yourself at any time. ### Do you build fully custom software? Yes. We build solutions that fit your workflows, infrastructure and long-term plans, from AI agents to cloud systems and first product versions. Every project is designed to scale and to stay maintainable. ### Can you help me get my start-up off the ground? Yes. We support founders from the very beginning with strategic advice and hands-on technical work, and as interim CTO if needed. That way your product, technical foundation and market readiness grow together. ### Can you improve existing systems instead of starting from scratch? Absolutely. Many clients come to us with legacy setups or systems that have grown too complex. We analyse your architecture, find what to improve and lay out a clear path to an efficient, future-proof setup. ### Why are you called Hepius? The name is inspired by Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine: a nod to our roots in healthcare, where we built our first reliable, compliant software for medical teams. We still have a strong network in medicine and help doctors and health innovators get their ideas started. The name stands for clarity, reliability and solutions that genuinely help people.
