IT consulting for small and medium-sized businesses and private individuals. Behind the coaching stands hands-on experience: 35 years in IT, trained as a state-certified IT specialist (Staatlich geprüfter Informatiker). I build networks, look after servers, develop software and websites, and bring AI sensibly into workflows. When projects grow, I work with a team of specialists.
Networks, servers and security
Local and multi-site networks, Windows servers and clients, Apple and Chrome OS, VPN and cloud working. Plus firewalls, secure access and protection of networks and data. The goal is an environment that runs reliably, that you understand and that does not get in the way of everyday work.
Websites, software and AI
WordPress websites, custom programming and connections to existing interfaces (APIs), plus digital assistants for communication and automated workflows. Cleanly built, documented, and so that you are not dependent later on. Sober and with data protection in mind: what really helps you, and what is just hype? You can find my thoughts on this in the blog, for example on humans and AI working together.
My team
For larger projects I bring together subcontractors and specialists, for example from web design, development, graphics and photography. You have one point of contact, and I make sure the parts fit together: web, network and AI from one source.
Rates
IT consulting is €150 per hour and IT administration €120 per hour, plus VAT. Rates for private individuals on request. For larger projects and day rates I calculate after a short analysis of the scope.
From the blog: computers and AI
Anyone who uses technology should be able to put it in context. These articles help with that:
- A Short History of Computers: from mechanical calculators to quantum computers and what it means for our future
- Emergency Shutdown for AI? Why There Is No Red Button: what is technically possible with AI and the internet
- Resilience in the Age of AI: why teams should be stable first before more tools arrive
- Understand Your Own Operating System First: an image from 35 years in IT for sensible use of AI
- What Is Consciousness? And Can an AI Have It?: a look at research and ancient traditions
For me, humans and technology belong together. You can find the attitude behind this in my coaching. This page is about hands-on implementation.
