\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

My full name is Winfried Edmund Stephan Maus and I was born in 1970. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a native German and Europe is my home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI is taking the world by storm, but here I still am: An independent critical and strategic thinker who gets the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have over three decades of professional experience in multi-cultural, geographically distributed international environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can feel and read the room and translate C-level visions into budgets and projects and customer requirements into working implementations \u2013 and I can translate tech talk and jargon into language that non-technical people can understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand how things work in complex, distributed systems. I can write code. I can document, write and teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I happen to know a thing or two about getting complex IT projects done \u2013 either with a team, leading a team or \u2013 in true Sigma male fashion \u2013 as a one man army all on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
