👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNiels Dettenbach is a seasoned internet solution architect and founder with three decades of hands-on experience designing and operating carrier-grade IP, satellite and hosting platforms from Göttingen, Germany. As Owner/Director of Syndicat IT & Internet since the mid-1990s he has led complex global projects spanning SatCom trunking, RIPE LIR/BGP migrations, traffic management and high-availability web and mail infrastructures. He combines deep Unix/Linux/*BSD, DevOps and full-stack software development skills with security and cyber-defense expertise, regularly performing audits and expert witness work on software forensics. His work covers everything from low-level satellite monitoring sensors and embedded Linux/ARM tooling to SaaS, AI, IoT and fraud-prevention systems, showing rare breadth across hardware and software. Colleagues rely on his analytical, implementation-focused approach and long experience in scaling, load management and emergency NOC operations. Less obvious: he built one of central Germany’s earliest full-service internet companies and still operates production platforms, consulting and RIPE services today.
