Oracle Project Management and Automation

As part of the project, the operation of an Oracle infrastructure was automated through the development and enhancement of Puppet modules and the migration of existing Bash scripts to a standardized configuration management solution.

The project aimed to standardize and automate administrative processes, improve the maintainability of the Oracle platform, and increase the efficiency and traceability of infrastructure management through the use of Infrastructure as Code.

• Develop data products as part of a Data Mesh / Medallion architecture on Databricks and Azure Synapse.
• Build Power BI dashboards using consolidated data from multiple source systems (sales, service, contracts, inventory data).
• Define KPIs and reporting standards in close collaboration with business stakeholders.

• Recurring problem in my own AI-assisted projects: requirements analysis, use cases, and architecture decisions can be created quickly with AI support, but remain difficult to follow and scattered across Markdown files – knowledge is lost as soon as it is no longer in the context window. arknet turns requirements engineering and architecture knowledge into structured, verifiable data instead of plain text: requirements, use cases, and architecture decisions form a consistently linked knowledge graph, traceable from requirement to architecture decision – queryable by both people and AI agents. Technically based on RDF/OWL and a custom MCP server.

• Result: Working MCP daemon, Docker image published automatically to GHCR, nine hexagonal modules, eleven ADRs (including an Open-Core licensing model). Requirements engineering and Ubiquitous Language hexagons are active. Public as a Community Edition under Apache-2.0 since 07/2026 (github.com/kogn-io/arknet), together with the Claude Code plugin and GHCR image; Open-Core model.
