About
👋 Hi, I’m Ludwig
I work as a Solution Architect with a strong focus on Modern Work, identity, endpoint management, and security — mostly in and around the Microsoft ecosystem.
This site exists because I kept repeating the same explanations, diagrams, and “wait, that’s actually not how it works” conversations — and eventually figured it would be easier to just write them down.
What I actually do
My day job lives somewhere between hands-on engineering and architecture:
- Designing and securing Microsoft 365 environments
- Building and fixing Intune configurations (sometimes both in the same day)
- Challenging customers on why they want something — not just how to configure it
- Translating security theory into things that actually survive contact with users
I spend a lot of time in:
- Entra ID (identity, Conditional Access, passwordless)
- Intune (Windows, macOS, configuration, compliance, pain)
- Microsoft Defender (Endpoint, Identity, Cloud Apps)
- Zero Trust — beyond the slide decks
Why this blog exists
TechWithLudwig is not a documentation mirror and not a marketing blog.
It’s where I write about:
- Things that look simple but aren’t
- Features that are powerful but poorly explained
- Configurations that work great in demos and terribly in real life
- Edge cases you only hit after deployment
If something here sounds opinionated, that’s intentional.
If something breaks — that’s usually mentioned too.
How I write
A few ground rules I try to stick to:
- No magic checkboxes without context
- No “just enable X” without explaining consequences
- If something is an assumption, I’ll call it out
- If I don’t know, I won’t pretend I do
This blog is written from the perspective of someone who has to support this stuff later.
Thanks for reading — and welcome to TechWithLudwig.
