STRICH is built by Alex Suzuki, a seasoned Software Engineer and industry veteran with almost two decades of Software Engineering experience under his belt. The product is marketed by Pixelverse GmbH, which is fully owned by Alex, and sold worldwide via Paddle as Merchant of Record.
Alex has years of experience implementing scanning solutions for customers around the world through his previous company Classy Code GmbH (now in maintenance mode), both using commercial and open source libraries.
During that time he perceived a gap between state of the art libraries costing tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, making them unsuitable for many startups and SMEs, and open source libraries which were unmaintained, had serious limitations, and offered no commercial support.
Having developed for both iOS and Android natively, he also strongly believes that pure web apps are the best choice for business and in-house apps. The web is an open platform and web browsers are growing ever more powerful, while native app development is becoming more complex, expensive and risky. Ease of distribution and deployment, a major factor in agility and efficiency, is where the web outshines native apps by a wide margin.
Alex has an MSc. in Computer Science from ETH Zurich and is passionate about software and all things visual.
