Oliver K.
Last position:
Founder & AI Automation Architect at Zerobits
Zerobits is my vehicle for AI-powered automation and custom software development with a clear principle: AI solutions that reach production, not pilot stage. I design and build the systems myself - from first concept and architecture through implementation to deployment and operations.
My focus is on replacing repetitive, manual work with reliable automation and connecting disconnected tools and data sources into one dependable overall system.
Selected work:
- Design and implementation of LLM-based agent systems and RAG pipelines (Anthropic Claude, Mistral, MongoDB Atlas Vector Search + RAG)
- Workflow orchestration for long-running, fault-tolerant business processes using Temporal (temporal.io): saga patterns, event-driven architecture, retry and compensation logic, connecting third-party APIs and internal services into automated end-to-end processes
- Full stack product development: SaaS architecture on Kubernetes, TypeScript/React/NestJS, admin tooling with refine.dev and MUI
- AI-assisted development workflow as standard practice to deliver production software at a fraction of traditional timelines
- Full stack product development: multi-tenant SaaS architecture running on Kubernetes, backend with NestJS/Node.js and Python, frontend with TypeScript, React and Next.js, admin tooling with refine.dev and MUI, CI/CD with GitHub Actions
One of these projects is a product I own and operate - free of any NDA restrictions. I'm happy to demonstrate it end to end.

About the technology
Virtualization platform
Citrix Hypervisor is an enterprise virtualization platform based on the Xen hypervisor. It lets companies run isolated virtual machines on shared physical hosts while controlling compute, memory, storage and networking from a central management layer. The technology is widely known through its former XenServer name and supports workloads that need predictable availability and efficient infrastructure use.
Core workloads
Citrix Hypervisor is used for private cloud foundations, server consolidation and virtual desktop infrastructure. Typical projects include:
- Hosting Windows and Linux virtual machines
- Supporting Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environments
- Building resilient pools with shared storage
- Migrating workloads from physical servers or other hypervisors
Ecosystem and tooling
Professionals work with XenCenter, Citrix Hypervisor hosts, resource pools and storage repositories. They connect the platform with iSCSI, Fibre Channel, NFS or local storage, and manage virtual networking, templates, snapshots and live migration. Useful adjacent knowledge includes Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Linux, Windows Server, backup software and monitoring tools.
When companies hire specialists
Companies often bring in freelance expertise during data-center consolidation, virtualization refreshes, disaster-recovery planning or a move away from another hypervisor. Germany-based teams may need on-site work for host, network or storage changes, while much of the design, configuration and troubleshooting can happen remotely. German and English communication may both matter in distributed projects.
Delivery and operations
A strong specialist starts with workload requirements, hardware compatibility, storage performance and recovery objectives. They define host pools, permissions, naming, network segmentation and backup procedures before production rollout. Good delivery also includes migration runbooks, monitoring, patch planning and clear documentation for internal operations teams.
Signs of quality
Look for professionals who can explain why Citrix Hypervisor fits the workload instead of treating virtualization as a generic installation task. Relevant evidence includes:
- Safe pool design and maintenance planning
- Controlled VM migrations with rollback steps
- Practical diagnosis of storage, network and host faults
- Tested backup and disaster-recovery procedures
- Clear handover documentation and operational guidance
Hands-on work with XenServer, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, or comparable Xen-based environments is valuable when it matches the project’s scope.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Citrix Hypervisor? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Citrix Hypervisor is used to host and manage virtual machines on physical servers. Companies use it for server consolidation, private infrastructure, virtual desktop workloads and resilient application environments.
Citrix Hypervisor uses the Xen virtualization technology and is often considered alongside VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. The right choice depends on existing Citrix investments, management preferences, storage design, licensing, operating systems and the skills available to operate the environment.
A strong Citrix Hypervisor specialist usually understands XenCenter, storage repositories, virtual networking, Windows Server, Linux and backup systems. Knowledge of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Active Directory, DNS, monitoring and disaster recovery is also useful.
The required depth depends on the risk and scale of the environment. A straightforward test setup may need focused configuration skills, while production migration, clustered hosts, shared storage or recovery planning calls for a Citrix Hypervisor professional who has handled comparable operational changes.
Many Citrix Hypervisor tasks can be completed remotely, including architecture, configuration reviews, troubleshooting and documentation. On-site support may still be needed for physical host installation, cabling, storage changes or incidents that require direct data-center access.
For Citrix Hypervisor work, prepare the current host and VM inventory, storage and network diagrams, access requirements, backup information and the desired outcome. Clear maintenance windows and rollback expectations help a specialist plan changes safely.
Ask the Citrix Hypervisor professional to explain design decisions, failure scenarios and recovery steps in plain language. Strong work includes tested migrations, documented configurations, monitored hosts, controlled permissions and a handover that the operations team can use.
Citrix Hypervisor is the product name associated with the XenServer platform and its Citrix-era releases. Many professionals and companies still use XenServer when describing the technology, so both terms can appear in project requirements and technical documentation.
