Hi, I'm Edy – IT Consultant & Tech Blogger
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in IT, I help others make better decisions about infrastructure, virtualization, and web technologies.
On this site, I document real-world setups, tools I actually use, and practical tutorials for home labs, WordPress, Proxmox, and more.
What This Website Is About
Edywerder.ch is my personal tech blog where I document real-world IT setups, troubleshoot server problems, and share what actually works — and what doesn’t.
Whether you’re experimenting with Proxmox in a homelab, looking to build a quiet server, or trying to speed up your WordPress site, you’ll find practical advice based on hands-on experience.
I don’t write theory or fluff — everything here comes from real testing, daily work, and the desire to help others avoid the same pitfalls.
Curious what I’ve written about recently?
Need Help with IT or Accounting?
While this website is focused on sharing knowledge, I also work with selected clients on freelance projects in Switzerland — both in IT and accounting.
If you’re looking for hands-on help with IT infrastructure, backups, WordPress, or bookkeeping, here’s where you can find me:
- itfachmann.ch – my dedicated website for IT services and support
- offering accounting and Swiss tax
Both websites are in German and primarily tailored for local clients in Switzerland. However, I’m also open to remote projects and have worked with international clients in the past — feel free to get in touch if you think we’re a good fit.
My Background in Brief
I’ve worked in IT for over 20 years — from managing enterprise infrastructure to supporting small businesses and individuals. One of my key roles was as IT Manager at Baker McKenzie Zurich, where I led a major IT restructuring and supported over 200 users.
Since then, I’ve worked with various clients in architecture, industry, and legal services — helping them with virtualization, backups, phone systems, server migrations, and secure remote work setups.
Today, I continue to support businesses across Switzerland, while also sharing my experience through this blog. I work with tools like
- VMWare
- Proxmox
- Veeam
- Microsoft 365
- Fortigate
- WordPress
In addition to my IT experience, I also hold a Swiss federal diploma in accounting. This unique combination allows me to support clients with both technical and financial systems — and understand how IT supports real business needs.
— always hands-on, always tuned for real-world needs.
