About

As a systems administrator, I have over 20 years of experience in providing network and systems administration, printmanagement, and CAD/BIM support for the AEC industry. I have advanced skills in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Windows client systems, and Autodesk products. I fancy Power BI. My mission is to ensure the optimal performance, security, and availability of the IT infrastructure and services for my company and clients. I have contributed to multiple projects involving server migration, datacenter moves, datamigration from aqcuired companies, backup and recovery, software installation and configuration, and server optimization. I enjoy working with a diverse and collaborative team of professionals who share my passion for innovation and excellence.

  • Owner / Freelance Photographer at Lab77 Fotografie
    May 2011 - Jan 2024 · 12 yrs 9 mos

    I started this company in May 2011 because I see photography is more than just a hobby. I have my own photo studio with Elinchrom strobes and different light modifiers like: Octabox, beauty dish, strip, etc. I do not only do studio work, but on location too. So I'm flexible to shoot on all kind of locations. I have skills in studio work like portraits for professionals, family shoots, new born, models for portfolio work, glamour style and nude photography. For work outside the studio, I do travel photography. I'm always open for learning new things, so if you have any particular demands, just feel free to ask and we'll see what we can do.
