NGFT
Our Journey
From day one, it was all about support and making the hard easy. And why is that? Because simple is hard. And that is what we are good at. The incredible fascination of helicopter flying keeps us looking for new ways to make your life easier, so you can focus on what it's all about: excellence in and around the helicopter. Instead of being buried in paperwork. That is NGFT. At your service - and on the way to the next thing.
He never stops to think about the next thing. He particularly loves doing this while sitting in a mountain hut with not much more but a notepad and a pen. The graduate political scientist and marketing analyst has crystal-clear goals and an incredible amount of perseverance and patience to achieve them. You have a question? He sure finds the answer. If you cannot reach him, he’s probably in his flow. (Shush, I'm thinking….)
Astrid sees the big picture while ensuring every detail aligns. As the heart of our customer relations and support, she’s one of the reasons clients love working with us. She listens, connects, and keeps everything on track. If something seems impossible, Astrid finds a way + the right people. And if you think she’s not paying attention—think again. (Yes, she noticed that detail you just missed.)
The Superpuma Captain is never afraid of a challenge and always stays in control. He loves speed and keeps his cool while the engines are burning. Benjamin likes new ideas and unconventional solutions. The ideas usually come to him while he's eating biscuits. So far we've never heard him say: “I'm tired.” (Is he really an earthling?)
Safety comes first - in IT too. As Computer scientist + network and database specialist, nothing puts André off his stride as he monitors the team's work and plans the next step for the infrastructure. Reliable and steady, André holds his course. One day a week, André shares his knowledge with students.
He has a good sense of humour - but no ear for it at work (che cosa?). Gianmichele only drinks coffee because it tastes good, not to take a break. Why would you take a break when you have such an interesting project right in front of you? His passion is AI. Would you like to know more? Check out his work in our products
Everything is a system and thus everything is possible if you think hard enough about the logic behind it. Ali loves using math, science, logic, and visualization to fully understand the feasibility of what we define in the tasks. Not all people with such a strong mathematical mindset are approachable. Ali is. He loves to explain his systems to you himself. (Sorry, not right now – he’s programming ...)
The glue that holds the Brno team together, Tonda ensures every perspective is heard and every project stays on track. A master of structure, he keeps Jira boards clean and workflows smooth—so nothing falls through the cracks. (Coordination done right.)
Mobility made easy: Filip bridges the gap between the vision and the functional, ensuring our mobile apps work seamlessly in any environment. Without him, we’d still be using paper and pencil in the field. Could you imagine?
A former test pilot with a sharp eye for detail, Ivan ensures every requirement is spot on. He's a late riser and a late worker, but once he’s up, nothing escapes his scrutiny. Precision from cockpit to code.
A pilot with a talent for networking and a sharp eye for detail, Jana ensures our systems stay up to date with the latest regulations. She connects the dots between compliance and operations—so nothing gets missed.
Calm, structured, and always solution-oriented—Julian brings clarity to complexity. A backend expert with deep API knowledge, he’s now diving into LLMs and AI agents. When a challenge arises, he doesn’t just spot the problem—he finds the fix. (No noise, just solutions.)
A helicopter pilot with a sharp eye for detail, Marcus navigates both the skies and EASA regulations with precision. Dedicated to closing tickets fast, he ensures compliance runs smoothly—so our customers can focus on flying.
Maksim dives deep into technical documentation and emerges with sleek, intuitive mobile apps. Detail-oriented and precise, he transforms complexity into smooth user experiences.
A philosopher at heart, a Laravel expert in practice — Martin thinks deeply and codes precisely. Passionate about history and travel, he’s a Parisian in disguise, yet firmly grounded when it comes to programming. (Elegant code, no nonsense.)
We have known Urs since the founding of NGFT. One of his extreme specialities was flying the vertical saw. He has flown accident-free for all his active years and passes on his knowledge to us, e.g. as an instructor in Italian CRM courses. We have always been fascinated by his reliability, straightforwardness and inner calm.
Victoria is always ready to be first, never shy to present her work and at the same time a phantastic teamplayer. How does she manage to juggle her demanding programming tasks plus her family plus the creation of marketing clips inbetween? That is her secret. Or better: She just does. Female power.
Talha brings ideas to life, turning concepts into intuitive designs. He digs deep to understand the project owner’s vision, asking the right questions until everything is clear and clean. His focus? Making user interactions seamless. (Design with purpose.)
With a dry sense of humor and a sharp eye for detail, Michal ensures our solutions meet the highest standards. Always exploring new AI-driven testing methods, he embraces innovation to keep quality top-notch. (Because great software deserves great QA.)
Yes, this is possible. And then he starts to work. Milos is always ready to help out and is not afraid to get his hands in the beastiest of all codes. When he codes something, he examines his work meticulously to ensure every aspect functions correctly.
