Hello dear Visitor!

Thank you for stopping by my site. Allow me to share a bit about myself. My name is Edy, and I’m a seasoned freelancer with over 30 years of experience in the fields of IT and accounting. My journey began with an accounting Swiss diploma, but my fascination with technology, particularly IT, started in my school days, around the time when personal computers were becoming a household name.

I recall my first encounter with a computer was an Atari, and the capabilities of Microsoft Excel, especially in creating financial statements, captivated me. This combination of my accounting background and a growing interest in technology led me to a career where curiosity is my driving force. This curiosity has always pushed me to understand the workings behind technology and to solve complex problems.

My professional break came when I helped a small legal firm develop their IT infrastructure. As they grew, so did my expertise, and the learning journey has been relentless and rewarding. A few years back, I shifted my focus from large corporations to smaller setups, finding joy in the personal and flexible nature of these environments.

In my home lab, I run a Dell server with VMware Vsphere, hosting various Windows and Linux VMs. This setup includes my own mail server, nameserver, and this website. I’ve even implemented a software-based phone system.

Alongside IT, I continue to offer my expertise in accounting, balancing these two contrasting fields which satisfy different aspects of my professional and personal interests.

As a solopreneur, I’ve also ventured into blogging, running Edy’s Tech Blog, where I share my insights and provide step-by-step tech guidance. My mission is to fill the gaps I’ve noticed in my work and online, aiming to enhance the quality of information available on the web.

Whether your needs are in IT or accounting, small or big, I’m here to help. Let’s start a conversation and work together to find solutions to your challenges!
