Hi, I’m Tay.

tay.märz is me: Tay März, sysadmin and developer from Göttingen. I have been programming since 2018, followed by internships and apprenticeships in IT. Today I look after computers, websites and servers for private clients, shops, pubs and communities.

How I work

Curious

I look at a system closely before I change anything about it.

Honest

I tell you what you need and what you don’t.

Thorough

I test before I hand anything over, and I write down what I did.

Hoodini

Hoodini is the tay.märz mascot. His big round eyes sit in the logo as the dots of the ä and stand for how I work: look closely, ask why, and understand a system before changing it.

Hood down: on duty

This is how he looks when he is working for clients.

Hood up: off duty

With the hood up he is off. Then you will find him on community projects, open source and stickers.

The name

tay.märz is written in lowercase, with a dot like a domain. The dots on the ä are Hoodini’s eyes. They follow your mouse.

Let me take a closer look.

Send me a short note about what you need. I get back to you fast, often the same day, and the first conversation is free.
