About Me

When I was six years old, there was a computer in my first-grade classroom – and from that moment on, I was hooked. Technology never let go of me. Shortly after, I got my first own PC. Of course, I opened it up, took it apart, put it back together, and learned how to reinstall operating systems in the process. That curiosity – the desire to understand how things work – has stayed with me to this day.

Over the years, the tasks became bigger. One single computer turned into networks, servers, virtual environments, and entire company infrastructures. Often, I was solely responsible. That meant: getting an overview myself, narrowing down errors step by step, and developing solutions. That’s how I acquired both broad and deep knowledge – not as a specialist in just one area, but as a generalist who can go far in many fields.

Today, I work as a freelance IT generalist. What sets me apart is my big-picture thinking: I don’t just want to fix a problem, I want to understand how the entire infrastructure fits together. For example, I successfully integrated several subsidiaries into the corporate IT – a project full of grown structures and quirks, requiring a great deal of sensitivity and technical expertise.

One project in particular left a lasting impression on me: When I joined, I was faced with the complete devastation following a ransomware attack on a company with fifteen locations. It was immediately clear that this wasn’t about “repairing” – the system had to be completely rethought. So I rebuilt the infrastructure from the ground up: more secure, more stable, future-ready.

Maybe that’s what sets me apart from many others: I don’t just know the technology, I also understand the business side. As the managing director of two IT companies, I learned how closely processes, costs, and technology are intertwined. This understanding helps me create solutions that not only work but also fit the business.

Looking ahead, I see two movements happening at once: The cloud remains important, but more and more companies are bringing systems back into their own data centers because the big promises of cost savings haven’t been fulfilled. The know-how for this is often lacking – and that’s exactly where I see my role.
