Summary

Here I will describe in detail the services I can offer you. If you are interested, I would like to give you the opportunity to learn more about me.

My many years of project experience in the IT business environment provide a solid foundation for successfully delivering the IT projects you need to fill.

A brief introduction. My guiding principle, “... never waste time,” is a slogan from my own project management software < Projects often fail due to a lack of communication or communication that is technically incorrect.>

I come from Siemens and completed an in-house apprenticeship in electronics. I have a high school diploma in business and computer science and more than twenty years of IT experience in software development, administration, setting up high-performance cluster systems, and data center planning.

My internet expertise is based on my leadership role as the internet site manager responsible for setting up the internet and intranet at Siemens AG. As a consultant and project manager for > 250 people, I helped plan and build the most modern data centers in Europe at the time (2005-2007). My strong social skills and trustworthy personality are the cornerstones of my engaging methods and quality-focused teaching approach.

My professional qualifications as an IT professional and external consultant are based on a range of roles and many years of experience with international corporations.

My expertise includes tasks and methods for problem and information management, IT software development, project management, and IT organization.
