Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am an IT expert in the field of client, server & datacenter management as well as IT security solutions. My technical focus is on the Microsoft and VMware product stack, supplemented by individual ManageEngine, Devolutions & VEEAM products. In the area of server hardware, I rely on products from DELL & HPE, whose management I also master.

During my >15 years of experience in IT, I have specialized in system integration, migration/carve-out projects, and system hardening.

My broad knowledge and quick comprehension also enable me to quickly find my way around new system landscapes and therefore I can also offer short-term operational support.
