My name is Florian Hubner. I was born and raised in the Salzkammergut in Upper Austria. My interest in computers started with eight years when my father bought our first computer in 1996. I wanted to know how I can make a computer do the things I want so I got a programming book at the age of 12 where I started with small Java applets.

I went to the HTL in Leonding where I visited the electronics branch and specialized in computer engineering. After that I movde to Graz where I studied computer science at the University of Technology of Graz (TU Graz). For my master's degree I specialized in computer vision and machine learning.

After I finished my master's degree I quickly found a very fitting and interesting job in the center of Graz at HS-Art. HS-Art is a small software company that develops the DIAMANT-Film Restoration software. This is an application for restoring the digitized versions of old films. At the beginning I started with some GUI development but soon I started working on internal more complex stuff. I integrated the FFmpeg and became the main developer for video encoding and decoding. The longer I worked at HS-Art the more I worked on computer vision algorithms. I developed several new filters for the software which can automatically detect and remove specific film and video defects.

In 2018 I moved back to Upper Austria. Unfortunately this meant giving up my job at HS-Art. However, I found a new position at Alpine Metal Tech where I worked again as software developer in computer vision. My main focus was on writing computer vision systems for automatic measuring machines for wheels. The new job was exciting because I now was working with complex machines which was different to the pure software development I did before.

In May 2019 I wanted to be more independent so I decided to start my own business. Since then I am self employed and work on different project mostly in the field of computer vision. I work with different partners, one of which is HS-Art, and I also do my own projects. In 2020 I started the project ColorInMotion where I develop a prototype for a software for colorizing black and white films.
