My full name is Winfried Edmund Stephan Maus and I was born in 1970. I am a native German and Europe is my home.
Writing
There are two things I am truly passionate about: Heavy Metal and writing, and you cannot choose either one of them – they choose you.
Writing has always been my true passion and my heart beats for the written word.
Professional IT
In my career, some of my job titles were Head of IT, Manager IT, Senior Consulting Engineer, Software Developer and Technical Writer.
I understand how things work in complex, distributed systems. I can write code. I can document, write and teach.
I happen to know a thing or two about getting complex IT projects done – either with a team, leading a team or – in true Sigma male fashion – as a one man army all on my own.
I love building IT infrastructures from scratch:
You can drop me by parachute over the Siberian Tundra, and when you come back a month later, I would have built a data center using the scrap metal I found on the ground.
360° Communication
I can translate C-level visions into budgets and projects and customer requirements into working implementations – and I can translate tech talk and jargon into language that non-technical people can understand.
Platform Development, Integration and Automation
I understand complex IT systems, their architecture, and how their components communicate.
During my time working in commercial satellite communications, I have repeatedly proven that I can build custom solutions that enable otherwise incompatible systems to communicate with each other.
Network Weather Maps, Monitoring, Alerting and Automation, including triggering scripts for self-healing actions, have been my bread & butter for over a decade.
