Nisanthan Sivarajah
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
What it covers
Windows Server is the Microsoft server platform used to run internal business systems, identity services, file shares, application servers, and virtual machines. Companies bring in specialists when they need reliable day-to-day operations and clean handovers between on-premises and cloud environments.
Common work
- Active Directory and domain services
- Hyper-V hosts and guest management
- IIS hosting for internal and public apps
- File, print, and permission structures
- Remote access, patching, and hardening
Core ecosystem
Strong professionals work across Microsoft tools and surrounding services: PowerShell, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, Failover Clustering, and Windows Admin Center. They also understand licensing, backup tools, certificate services, and how Windows Server fits with Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and hybrid identity.
When to bring help
Freelance expertise is useful during server upgrades, domain restructures, migration projects, incident recovery, or when a team needs extra hands for routine operations. In Germany, companies often ask for specialists who can work clearly with local IT teams, document changes well, and support both remote and on-site delivery when needed.
What strong experts do
Strong Windows Server professionals do more than keep services online. They plan changes, test safely, write repeatable PowerShell scripts, and reduce fragile manual steps.
- diagnose permission and login issues
- migrate roles and servers with low disruption
- improve backup, recovery, and patch routines
- secure exposed services and admin access
Good fit signals
You need this expertise if your environment still depends on AD, file services, IIS, or Hyper-V, or if an older Windows Server version must be stabilized before a wider modernization effort. It also helps when internal staff know the business but need specialist support for a complex Microsoft server stack.
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to Windows Server.
Windows Server is Microsoft’s server operating system for running core business services. It is commonly used for domain control, shared storage, application hosting, virtualization, and remote access. Many companies rely on it as the backbone for internal identity and server management.
Hire a Windows Server specialist when you need migration help, emergency troubleshooting, or extra capacity for maintenance and upgrades. It is also a good fit when an internal team needs support for Active Directory, Hyper-V, or IIS without adding long-term headcount. The best projects have clear scope and access to the current server setup.
Windows Server is usually the better fit when the stack depends on Microsoft identity, Group Policy, IIS, or other Windows-based services. Linux is often preferred for open-source stacks and many internet-facing workloads. A strong specialist can explain where Windows Server is the right choice and where a mixed setup makes more sense.
A strong Windows Server expert usually brings PowerShell, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, and backup knowledge. Hyper-V, certificate services, Failover Clustering, and basic networking also matter. For hybrid work, knowledge of Entra ID and Microsoft 365 is often valuable too.
Windows Server work ranges from routine administration to deep rescue work. Simple tasks may need a specialist who knows patching and permissions well, while migrations and domain changes need someone who has handled risk, rollback, and testing. The more business-critical the service, the more proven experience matters.
Yes, many Windows Server tasks can be delivered remotely from Germany if the team provides secure access and clear change windows. Remote work is especially practical for scripting, documentation, planning, and troubleshooting. On-site help can still be useful for hardware checks, local network issues, or sensitive cutovers.
Look for a Windows Server professional who can describe past migrations, incident handling, and hardening work in plain terms. Good signs are clear documentation, safe change management, and strong scripting habits. Ask how they validate a change, how they recover from failure, and how they keep services stable after handover.
Yes, Windows Server remains important in many Microsoft environments, especially where Active Directory, file services, IIS, or Hyper-V are still in use. It often sits beside cloud services rather than being replaced by them. The most useful specialists understand both the legacy server side and the hybrid direction.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Windows Server in their recent projects is 97 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 776 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Windows Server in their recent projects, 68% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 39% hold at least a Master's degree, and 7% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Windows Server in their recent projects have 24 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 5.3 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used Windows Server in their recent projects are German (99%), English (94%), and French (22%).
The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used Windows Server in their recent projects are Information Technology (97%), Banking and Finance (59%), and Manufacturing (59%).
The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used Windows Server in their recent projects are Information Technology (100%), Project Management (78%), and Operations (68%).
