the story

behind these pages

My name is Tobias Wolter, 34 years old and I live in southern Germany near Neuschwanstein Castle.

First company at 18

I founded my own company at the age of 18 and worked successfully as a freelancer for over 9 years. My services included the support and further development of complex system and network environments.

Homelab

Within my Proxmox cluster, I operate over 30 virtual machines, which I use not only to provide my own infrastructure, but also to continuously train myself, keep up to date and test new systems. My philosophy is to be always one step ahead of new projects.

After work

When I'm not working, I like to spend my time with analog photography and film processing, crossing the Atlantic in the Microsoft Flight Simulator, traveling or having a fine dining evening with my wonderful wife.

And what's with the French?

France is a beautiful country with very friendly people and a harmonious-sounding language. It stands to reason that this enthusiasm is also reflected in my pseudonym (Bonaparte's black bicorne).

have a project? let’s talk.

I enjoy talking about new projects and challenges - regardless of current capacity.
