Every IT setup has its trouble spot.
- “The Wi-Fi drops the moment someone starts working from home.”
- “Nobody has ever tested whether our backup actually works.”
- “We need a server or NAS – but which one, and who sets it up?”
- “GDPR has been sitting on the to-do pile for months.”
- “The smart home listens to everyone – except us.”
- “Our club finally needs a proper website.”
That's exactly what I'm here for. See my services
One point of contact for all your IT.

Servers & NAS
Central storage and services that simply work: selection, setup and hardening of servers and NAS systems – including user management, file shares, monitoring and ongoing support.
-
Backups & cybersecurity
So ransomware or a failed hard drive never turns into a disaster: well-designed backup strategies and data protection solutions that demonstrably work.
-
GDPR & data privacy
Data privacy done pragmatically, not in a panic: consulting and support in creating data protection concepts for your business or club.
-
Smart home & automation
A home that does as it's told: setup and configuration of smart devices with Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant or app – up to complete home automation solutions.
-
Hardware, software & websites
From the right laptop to your own website: advice, procurement and setup, smaller repairs and upgrades, plus software configuration and hosting.

I understand technology. You shouldn't have to.
You want to take the next step in digitalising your business, your club or your own home, but you're not quite sure how? And cybersecurity and GDPR compliance shouldn't fall by the wayside either?
I'm happy to help!
As a graduate engineer working as a software test engineer, the IT sector is home ground for me. Above all, though, I'm an IT enthusiast – that passion is why I offer such a broad range of services. I use Windows, Apple and Linux every day myself – so I can help you on whatever system you already have. My experience across several industries helps me understand your situation quickly. No sales pressure, no one-size-fits-all packages: you get the solution that fits you.

Frequent questions, answered upfront
- Where do you work?
- On-site in Warnemünde, Rostock and the surrounding area, along the Rostock–Lübeck corridor and in Hamburg. Many things can also be done remotely.
- What does the initial consultation cost?
- Nothing – getting to know each other and a first assessment are free and non-binding.
- When are you available?
- Appointments are mostly in the evenings and at weekends – exactly when you have time yourself. Other times by arrangement.
- Is there a call-out fee?
- No. You only pay for the kilometres actually driven from Rostock-Warnemünde (€0.50/km); ferry or parking costs may be added. As a small business under § 19 of the German VAT Act, I do not charge or show VAT.
