About Thobias

I am a Senior IT Support Specialist with over 15 years of experience in maintaining and optimizing IT workstations. I support companies quickly, reliably, and solution-oriented – both remotely and on-site.

My focus is on Windows environments, Active Directory, Remote Support, and the rapid analysis and resolution of hardware and software problems. Through my structured way of working and clear communication, I ensure smooth IT operations and satisfied users.

I have extensive experience in 1st and 2nd level support, user and rights management, as well as in the installation and maintenance of IT systems. Topics such as VPN, network problems, RDP connections, and Microsoft 365 are also part of my daily work environment.

What you can expect from me:

  • Fast response times & high availability
  • Efficient error analysis and sustainable solutions
  • Clear communication with users
  • Structured documentation and ticket processing

I work independently, reliably, and with the aim of solving every challenge efficiently.
