Nisanthan S.
Last position:
Business Intelligence Consultant (freelance) at NBIC – Nisanthan BI Consulting
Advising companies on building, migrating and optimising BI and reporting landscapes (Power BI, SQL, Python, ETL)
5 client engagements in real estate and finance since 05/2025: taking over and stabilising existing reporting, automating recurring standard and management reports, building cash-flow models
Proposal and feasibility assessments for BI and reporting projects
Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development
Custom ERP system
Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.
Approach: Captured the business processes and requirements, modelled the data and developed iteratively together with the business team.
Implementation: Built a tailored, web-based ERP system with a central database, role-based modules and automated reporting – delivered using AI-assisted development in Claude Code.
Timesheet app
Starting point: Time tracking based on an overgrown, macro-heavy Excel template – maintenance-intensive, single-user and error-prone.
Implementation: Migrated all functionality and VBA macros into a standalone web app with central data storage, multi-user support and automated reporting.
Cash-flow modelling
Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.
Implementation: Built and extended the CF model to include project-development cash flows.
Optimisation: Reviewed and optimised existing CF models and expanded the KPI outputs for reporting and steering.

About the technology
Core role
Windows Server is Microsoft’s server operating system for running business applications, identity services, file storage and network infrastructure. It supports on-premises data centers, private clouds and hybrid environments connected to Microsoft Azure. Companies use it where centralized control, compatibility and dependable administration matter.
Typical workloads
Windows Server specialists deliver and maintain systems such as:
- Active Directory domains, Group Policy and Microsoft Entra ID integrations
- File, print, DNS, DHCP and certificate services
- Microsoft SQL Server, IIS and .NET application hosting
- Hyper-V clusters, backup systems and disaster recovery
- Remote Desktop Services and managed workplace infrastructure
Ecosystem and tooling
The work commonly combines Windows Server with PowerShell, Active Directory Domain Services, Hyper-V, IIS and Microsoft SQL Server. Professionals may also use System Center, Windows Admin Center, Microsoft Defender for Identity and Azure services. Networking, virtualization, identity management and endpoint security are closely connected skills.
When specialists help
Companies bring in freelance expertise during migrations, data-center consolidation, audits and urgent recovery work. A specialist can modernize legacy Windows environments, connect on-premises systems with Azure, or create repeatable PowerShell automation. Berlin organizations often need professionals who can coordinate remote delivery with on-site access requirements and German-speaking stakeholders.
Strong delivery signals
Look for hands-on ownership of domain design, permissions, patching, monitoring and recovery procedures. Strong professionals document dependencies, test changes and define rollback plans before touching production. They understand least-privilege access, certificate lifecycles, vulnerability remediation and the operational impact of every Group Policy change.
Project fit and collaboration
The right specialist starts by clarifying application dependencies, service levels, compliance needs and the current estate. They turn that assessment into a practical design, migration sequence and operating documentation. Remote collaboration works well for planning, automation and monitoring; on-site work may still be useful for hardware, network changes and local teams. Clear communication in English or German can be important in Berlin-based projects.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Windows Server? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Windows Server provides the foundation for identity, access control, file services, application hosting and virtualization in business environments. It commonly runs Active Directory, IIS, Microsoft SQL Server, Hyper-V and Remote Desktop Services.
Windows Server is often preferred when an organization relies on Microsoft applications, Active Directory, .NET or tightly integrated management tools. Linux can be a strong alternative for open-source workloads, container platforms and highly customized web infrastructure, so the decision should follow application and operations requirements.
A strong Windows Server specialist usually understands TCP/IP networking, DNS, DHCP, PowerShell, virtualization and backup design. Experience with Azure, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft SQL Server and identity federation is valuable in hybrid environments.
The required depth depends on the risk and scope of the work. Windows Server patching or routine administration may need a focused operations specialist, while domain redesign, hybrid identity, high availability or disaster recovery calls for someone who has led comparable changes in production.
Much of Windows Server administration can be completed remotely through secure management access, including assessment, automation, monitoring and migration planning. On-site presence may be needed for hardware, network changes or restricted environments, and Berlin projects may benefit from English- or German-speaking collaboration.
Companies often engage Windows Server professionals for migrations, security remediation, domain consolidation, Azure integration or recovery planning. Freelance support is also useful when an internal team needs specialist capacity without adding a permanent role.
Ask how the specialist approaches discovery, permissions, change control, monitoring, backup validation and rollback planning. A capable Windows Server professional can explain past decisions clearly, produce usable documentation and test recovery rather than treating a successful backup as proof of recoverability.
Windows Server remains suitable for hybrid estates when on-premises applications, local data or existing Microsoft dependencies must work with cloud services. A specialist should define which workloads stay local, which move to Azure, how identities synchronize and how operations remain secure across both environments.
