About

IT that someone else can still understand tomorrow.

I am an IT administrator and web developer based in Schleiz, Germany. I look after servers, networks and web platforms for companies of different sizes – from planning and setup to day-to-day operation.

My standard: solutions that work reliably in everyday use and that someone else can follow. That is why I document what I set up and test backups instead of merely configuring them.

  • The right tool instead of manual work

    I automate recurring tasks with scripts and workflows. That saves time and avoids mistakes.

  • Security from the start

    Segmented networks, secured access and email protection are part of the baseline – not an afterthought.

  • Documented and traceable

    Every setup is documented so that operation and handover work without guesswork.
