Since I have always been aware that the Internet and data processing were developed to collect person-related information, I do not use social media or supposedly free online services. I'm telling you this so that you don't be surprised that you can hardly find anything from me on the internet, that's the purpose of it!
And it underlines my professional way of working in information technology.
In 1996 I started my first book called "Citizen--Somebody is watching you!". It took me some years to finish writing it. This reflects my workload for projects. The following book "Insanity of the EGOlution" completes "Citizen--Somebody is watching you!" but isn`t a second part of it.
My customers are from all industrial sectors, but also government institutions and universities.
I completed much huge projects in Datacenter-migrations, virtualizations, development, installation and maintain of Internet-portals and writing of paperwork. For reasons of clarity, information on the projects has been greatly abbreviated. Keep in mind that my tasks in the projects far exceeded what you read here.
I only list necessary information here, because I keep it as well as my own. The privacy of my customers is close to my heart because I understand what makes our current world tick.
