About me

I'm Yunus Emre Inal, an IT service provider based in the Ruhr area, Germany. With my company Inal IT I support businesses across Germany with managed IT services, cloud solutions and infrastructure — personal, GDPR-compliant and without vendor lock-in.

I've been working in IT since 2017: trained in a hospital environment at KKRN, then IT administrator at Hertener Stadtwerke, now system engineer at Michael Bockhoff GmbH. In late 2022 I additionally started my own business, Inal IT — and built Backup Control Plane, my own software for centrally managing backups.
