My full name is Winfried Edmund Stephan Maus and I was born in 1970.
I am a native German and Europe is my home.
AI is taking the world by storm, but here I still am: An independent critical and strategic thinker who gets the job done.
I have over three decades of professional experience in multi-cultural, geographically distributed international environments.
I can feel and read the room and 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.
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 can talk to and discuss with AI and use the support of AI to solve complex and complicated problems. I respect AI for what they actually are: Artificial beings.
I have no doubt or qualms about the fact that in the very near future, AI and advanced humanoids will replace each and everyone of us in the workplace. And yet, I still 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.
