AI-assisted software development & automation
35 years of IT experience meet modern AI.
Many businesses lose time every day to manual processes and disconnected systems.
Custom software, automation and reliable IT solutions for businesses.
I don't just know AI tools – over 35 years of experience tell me where they add real value and where classic IT is still the better choice.
I combine many years of experience in Oracle databases, infrastructure and enterprise IT with modern AI-assisted software development.
Your Benefit
Solid technology, tangible results.
Do your staff spend hours on routine tasks every day? Is valuable data sitting unused in your systems? That is exactly where I come in – with measurable value in everyday work.
- Less manual work Recurring tasks run automatically instead of by hand.
- Faster processes Workflows are streamlined and accelerated.
- Shorter development times From idea to solution in far less time.
- Tailored solutions A precise fit instead of off-the-shelf software.
- Better overview Clear analyses, reports and clean documentation.
- Low barrier to entry Start small with a pilot project – decide on a rollout based on real results.
Services
Six focus areas, one standard: dependable IT.
From the database to AI-assisted development – coordinated and from a single source.
-
AI in Business
Putting AI to work where it truly delivers: automation, internal applications, data analysis and assistance tools – from idea to concrete project.
-
AI-Assisted Software Development
Internal web applications, billing, specialist modules, reporting and interfaces – built individually with AI coding assistants, structured and tested.
-
Process Automation
Automate recurring workflows, connect systems, reduce manual work – reliable and traceable.
-
Oracle & PL/SQL
Oracle as core competency: administration, PL/SQL, performance tuning, RMAN, migrations and OCI. In AI/Docker settings, PostgreSQL & open DBs too.
-
Infrastructure, Docker, Linux & Cloud
Windows and Linux servers, Docker, networks, OCI and Azure, monitoring and backup – securely built, reliably operated.
-
AI Consulting & Workshops
AI potential analysis, introducing coding assistants to teams and secure AI development environments – including knowledge transfer.
Examples
What that looks like in practice.
A real reference project – and typical solutions from everyday work, each from the starting point to the concrete benefit. It often starts small: as a manageable prototype, before you decide on a full rollout.
OCI Ops Platform – monitoring & automation
A modular operations platform for running an Oracle/OCI landscape: it collects health, patch and infrastructure data from Windows and Linux servers and Oracle databases, brings it together in one dashboard and automates recurring operational tasks – built entirely with AI coding assistants.
- Billing
Custom customer billing
- Situation
- Billing was created from scattered spreadsheets and manual steps – time-consuming and error-prone.
- Solution
- A lean, custom-built application consolidates hours, services and rates and produces the analysis and invoice at the push of a button.
- Benefit
- Significantly less manual effort per billing run and consistent, traceable results.
- Data & Interfaces
Data import with validation
- Situation
- Data from external systems had to be imported regularly – without reliable checks for completeness and plausibility.
- Solution
- An automated import process reads the data, checks it against defined rules and reports anomalies in a structured way.
- Benefit
- A clean data basis, less rework and a repeatable, documented process.
- Reporting
Automated reports
- Situation
- Recurring reports were compiled and prepared by hand from several sources.
- Solution
- Analyses from Oracle and other sources are generated automatically and delivered as a finished report.
- Benefit
- Up-to-date figures without manual effort and reliable, on-time delivery.
AI-Assisted Software Development
Faster to maintainable code.
I put agentic AI coding assistants to productive use every day – from idea to working result in less time, tested and cleanly documented, without any loss of quality.
- Rapid prototyping & automation
- Traceable, maintainable implementation
- Knowledge transfer to your own team
AI does not replace technical experience – it assists with analysis, architecture, code, testing and documentation. Responsibility for quality and security stays with the experienced developer.
Oracle & PL/SQL
Databases you can build on.
AI solutions are only as reliable as the data beneath them. Oracle is my core competency – from data modelling through performance tuning and PL/SQL to the stable operation of business-critical systems. In AI and Docker environments I also use open databases such as PostgreSQL wherever they are the right fit.
- Performance analysis & optimisation
- PL/SQL development & maintenance
- Backup, recovery & operations
- PostgreSQL & open DBs in Docker/AI projects
Infrastructure, Docker, Linux & Cloud
A solid foundation.
AI-assisted applications need a stable foundation: Docker, Linux servers, networking and cloud – cleanly set up, automated and securely operated.
- Docker & Docker Compose
- Linux servers & automation
- Cloud operations & monitoring
Who I work with
Built for SMEs and skilled trades.
I work with businesses where a lot of time goes into recurring office and administrative work – that is exactly where AI offers the biggest, and often still untapped, leverage. Production can benefit too: wherever information breaks down because systems lack the interfaces and connections to talk to each other – or wherever scattered data can be brought together into a meaningful info dashboard.
-
SMEs
Grown processes, scattered data and bespoke needs that off-the-shelf software never quite fits. I automate workflows, connect existing systems and databases and build custom applications that slot into your IT.
-
Skilled trades
Quotes, invoices, scheduling and documentation are often still done by hand. This is exactly where AI and lean automation can free up noticeable time fast – without a big IT project.
Getting started
Two simple ways to start.
You don't need a big plan to begin. We start small and decide on the next steps based on real results.
- Step 1
Potential assessment
In a no-obligation first conversation we look at your workflows together and pinpoint where AI and automation can concretely save time and effort.
- Step 2
Pilot project
We implement one manageable use case – small, concrete and quickly usable. You see the real benefit before deciding on any further rollout.

About
One point of contact. Full responsibility.
My name is Gerhard Schug. As the sole proprietor behind GS IT Engineering, I work with you one to one – from the first idea to ongoing operation.
I originally come from software development and, over the years, grew deep into running business-critical systems – Oracle, infrastructure and enterprise IT, for over 35 years. With AI-assisted development the circle closes: today I combine that operational and database experience with modern software development. My advantage is not merely knowing AI tools, but being able to judge how they fit sensibly into existing processes, databases and infrastructures.
Pragmatic solutions, clean implementation and a transparent approach – consulting and development from a single source.
