About me
Redzep Selimi
IT is not a career I once chose — it is the one that stayed. For more than twenty years: system architecture, interfaces, databases, operations. A few years ago software development joined in, and that is where the two meet. Knowing how a system breathes in production is what lets you build applications that still run on day one thousand.

Where I come from
A trained IT specialist, then a qualified IT technician (HF) and most recently a business administrator (NDS HF). Twenty years of professional experience in IT: system administration, networks, server operations, interfaces and IT project management — twelve of those years in a large organisation, seven of them as deputy head of IT. Alongside that, training apprentices, which teaches you to explain things so they land.
Data protection is not an appendix
For eight years a company data protection officer, with formal GDPR training. Which is why no site I build carries a tracker nobody asked for, and no database of mine holds an IP address nobody needs. Data minimisation is not a setting you apply afterwards, it is a decision made at design time.
Why platforms of my own
Three of the four pieces of work on this site were not built to order — they are mine, and they run under my own responsibility, with paying customers, support and invoices. The fourth is the website of a family business. Running your own changes how you advise: you know what a feature costs in daily life, not just what it costs in the quote.
How I work
One contact person, no carousel of project managers. Fixed prices that hold. And if an idea does not carry, I say so before the quote rather than after the third invoice. Work happens in German; English is equally fine.
