About Me

I am Paul Scholz – IT systems administrator and SEO consultant from Germany. I manage enterprise Hyper-V and SCVMM environments with hundreds of hosts and thousands of virtual machines on a daily basis. What I do at work – solve complex, scalable problems with clean automation – I bring to every project I take on.

Parallel to my enterprise work, I advise small and medium-sized businesses on local SEO, AI-assisted workflows, and digital infrastructure. I run an extensive homelab with Docker, n8n, and self-hosted services. I write about what I actually do – not about what sounds good. If you need someone who combines technical depth with practical results, that's where I come in.

Services

Pragmatic support for modern digital projects

Organic Visibility & SEO

From technical audit to content architecture: I identify where your site is losing visibility and build a measurable strategy to fix it. Local SEO, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and AI-assisted content – not guesswork, but precision work.

  • Technical SEO audits & prioritized action plans
  • Local SEO & Google Business optimization
  • AI-assisted content strategy & keyword architecture

01

IT Infrastructure & Automation

Whether it's a PowerShell pipeline for 200 Hyper-V hosts, a containerized on-premises service stack, or an AI workflow that handles repetitive tasks autonomously – I design it, implement it, and document it so it actually keeps running.

  • Enterprise virtualization consulting (Hyper-V/SCVMM)
  • Scripted operations & process automation
  • On-premises container infrastructure & CI/CD

02

Digital Projects & Consulting

Sometimes you just need someone who knows what they're doing. Website, infrastructure concept, AI integration, DNS headache, or simply a technical second opinion – I'm available for projects of any size, with clear communication and no agency overhead.

  • Web projects with Astro, Tailwind & modern tooling
  • AI workflow integration (n8n, Claude, local LLMs)
  • Technical consulting & architecture review

03

All services on request. I create individual proposals.
