After graduating from the University of Vienna Steinwender began working as a teacher of mathematics and physics in school Komenský. He created the database get.to/spiele, which later grew into the website spieletest.at.,[1] which is now one of the largest information portals about games in the German speaking world.[2] His first game, Venga-Venga!, was released by the publishing house Selecta Spielzeug.[3] Steinwender creates about twenty game prototypes a year and is one of the most popular Austrian board game designers. He has interviews in newspapers and television broadcasts. He accepts contract work and one of his clients is the Austrian public transport organisation Wiener Linien.
