Summary
Industrial engineer, B.Sc. at Boğaziçi and M.Sc. at TUM, who builds software end to end. At Demirtag Consulting I digitalise Deutsche Telekom's internal contract processes, from the Angular frontend through Java services and Camunda workflows to SAP.
Next to that I build and run my own products: Niche Impromptu, a German speaking coach; Deklavis, AI review of customs documents; Gistleaf, an iOS notes app; and free logistics tools on ardahdmi.com. For each project I set up its own agent harness, with build, test and review layers. I do my best work close to the people who use what I ship.
Experience
Software & Automation Engineer
– Present
Demirtag Consulting GmbH, Augsburg
- Deutsche Telekom: End-to-end digitalisation of internal contract processes, such as partial and full terminations, that staff used to do by hand in SAP. One flow replaces 7 to 12 manual bookkeeping steps. In a pilot with about 50 to 60 Telekom employees.
- Across the stack: Angular frontend, BFF, Java services, Camunda BPMN models and workers, SAP integration through OData, deployment on Kubernetes.
- Allianz: Wrote and maintained more than 1,500 automated Playwright tests in Jenkins for the cloud application used by all Allianz policy sellers, plus a script that files Jira bug reports from test results. Other teams still reuse the suite.

Award

How I work
- I build with Claude Code. Usually two coding agents run in parallel, orchestrated through Hermes, and a separate review agent checks GitHub and the live sites every 15 minutes. Some projects need a slower, more manual loop.
- In client work I go through each business scenario before building, to find the edge cases early.
Products I built and run
Niche Impromptu
A speaking coach for German at B2-C1 that lets you rehearse a conversation before you have it.
- You practise as a persona or draw a random topic, answer out loud, fix the transcript if needed, and get tutor notes on grammar, vocabulary, fillers and pace with a model answer.
- Errors are tagged against a taxonomy of 30 German error codes. A weak point is promoted only after it recurs across attempts, and only from notes the tutor rated as reliable.
- Every model call is metered for tokens, audio minutes and cost.

Deklavis
AI review of customs documents for customs consultants and import/export companies.
- A reviewer uploads a case, OCR parses each document, and the backend checks the Declaration of Conformity against the invoice and the product label, with rules and a regulatory knowledge base behind each finding.
- Each finding shows its evidence on the page, a severity and a suggested fix. A person makes the final decision, and every step is kept in an audit history.
- I wrote the frontend and the backend and run the production setup.
- The setup is a hardened VPS with Coolify, Cloudflare, Tailscale-only admin and CI on both repos.

Gistleaf
An iOS app that turns spoken notes into structured notes with AI.
- You record a thought like "meeting at 2 p.m. today, groceries on Thursday" and it pulls out the parts that matter. Free to use, with a Premium subscription through the App Store.
- Transcription runs on the device, and an LLM pulls out the structure.
Stack Swift, SwiftUI, on-device speech recognition, an LLM for extraction
Logistics tools
Free browser tools for freight and warehouse decisions: Trailer fit, Pallet build, Cartons per pallet, Pallets per truck and Cold store racking.
- Trailer fit compares eight published carrier rules for loading meters and billable weight. Pallet build turns a packing list into pallets and hands them on to Trailer fit.
- In the Charge Smart demo a weight-aware planner saves a median 7.6% over 300 sampled days. Each demo pairs a decision the visitor makes with an exact solver.
