Niklas Bambor
Junior Engineer, Champion at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 & National Team Member for WorldSkills Germany

About Me
I'm an IT systems integration specialist and WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 Champion in IT Network Systems Administration. I represented Germany at the world championship and finished with 689 points (rank 16 of 27).
I qualified through SpainSkills 2026 in Madrid, where I competed at an international level under realistic conditions, and previously placed 3rd at the German Championship (WorldSkills Germany) across Cisco networking, Windows Server, Linux, troubleshooting, and presentation. As a member of the German WorldSkills National Team, I prepared for the world championship with a focus on system integration, automation, and troubleshooting under time pressure.
At aobis GmbH, I work on real-world IT projects in the hospitality sector — including Wi-Fi expansions, firewall deployments, Microsoft Intune rollouts, and the optimization of complex hotel infrastructures.
