I have decades of experience in the UNIX field (programming and system administration, also from big systems) as well as in the InterNet. Since 1994 I operate UNIX Web servers and other UNIX services. The servers had to be partly high availability and had >20 millions accesses per month. All services in the Web field are well known to me, in particular CGI programming. Already as student I had experience in the computer center of the University Clausthal as programmer and consultant, afterwards I worked 2 years at the University of Münster as software developer in the computer center (development of a LAN WAN gateway). Later I was UNIX administrator at the Nixdorf AG, München and Siemens AG. Beside specialized courses I trained with my own interest in the Internet and looked always at the new technologies and their application. So I could offer always valuable pilot work. In October 2000 at Apptime GmbH I worked as programmer and Director of Advanced services for high availability solutions with multimedia monitoring.

After June 2001 I took a place at the Hypovereinsbank.

I changed at the beginning of 2002 into the system administration in the UNIX field with General Electric Compunet (now Computacenter AG & CO oHG) and administered the computer centers of BMW AG. The main part was administration of several hundreds of Sun mainframes, inclusive clusters. I developed many programs to monitor the systems and automate the daily tasks.

Within Cyclades/Avocent i could update my software development knowledge, especially with embedded Linux systems and gather extended know how in Out of Band Technology.

I concepted realized and documented bigger projects for customer specific software solutions. The customers are vary satisfied with the solutions.
