Christian P.
Last position:
Power BI Developer & Consultant in an Agile Team (SAFe) at DB InfraGO AG
Further Development of the Integrated Capacity Management Platform InKa
Rail Infrastructure
- Power BI shared datasets and reports via DirectQuery on Amazon Redshift (timetable, construction and capacity data)
- Automated report testing with Playwright in Docker containers, version control with GitLab
- Concept and implementation of user communication (information page, changelog, known bugs)
Initial Situation:
The integrated capacity management platform (InKa) is a monitoring and analysis platform for data from timetable and capacity management: customer orders, infrastructure, timetable operations, construction, as well as route capacity and width. The data is stored and linked in a structured data warehouse. This makes it possible to create complex KPIs across different source systems and display current and future route utilization as well as construction activity across the network. The goal is to improve strategic, medium-term and intra-year planning and provide users with easy access to capacity management analyses.
Measures:
- Enablement: Introduction of Power BI with training and workshops for development teams.
- Consulting & Design: Problem analysis, concepts and solution consulting for reporting requirements; implementation of reporting solution plans.
- Data Model: Development of shared datasets with DirectQuery on Amazon Redshift and import tables; DAX measures for utilization and capacity KPIs.
- Development: Data analysis, data transformation and visualization in Power BI; extension and migration of business applications to Power BI; AI-supported development in VS Code with GitHub Copilot.
- Test Automation: Automated testing of Power BI reports with Playwright; setup of the test environment in Docker containers.
- User Communication: Concept and implementation of a central information page with hot news, changelog and known bugs, access from reports with report filters, updates via Power Automate.
- Deployment: Management of Power BI Deployment Pipelines across the DEV, TEST and PROD environments.
- Agile Working: Work in an agile team according to SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework); refinement of user stories and features including effort estimates in Jira; version control with Git and GitLab.
- Quality & Documentation: Reviews for quality assurance, error analysis and resolution, technical documentation in AsciiDoc and Confluence.
Technologies: Power BI, DAX, Power Query, DirectQuery, Amazon Redshift, Git / GitLab, Deployment Pipelines, Playwright, Docker, AsciiDoc, Power Automate, Jira, Confluence, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, SAFe
Results:
- Capacity management KPIs from multiple source systems combined on one platform
- Transparency regarding current and future route utilization and construction activity across the network
- Easy access to analyses for users
- Automated regression testing of Power BI reports
- User communication implemented: central information page with hot news, changelog and known bugs, directly accessible from the reports
Jens R.
Last position:
Platform Architect & Senior Developer at Direct client, industrial measurement technology, medium-sized company
- Technical leadership across hardware, firmware, and software teams; scope: hardware/firmware team (4 people) and leadership group (5 people)
- Consolidated and documented a product family that had grown over more than 15 years and aligned it with CRA compliance — from the bare-metal I/O module to the cloud interface.
- Provided the most important customer product with the essential requirements and architecture documentation within two months — for a firmware landscape that had grown over more than 15 years. It now supports the customer’s modernization strategy.
- Established a monthly reporting line to the supervisory board and executive board within three months: nine meetings since 12/2025. The report itself is versioned and built from the CI pipeline; it is based on automatically collected activity and release data instead of assessments.
- Built a container-based CI/CD infrastructure from scratch: cross-compilation, host tests, and documentation builds in one continuous pipeline.
- Introduced declarative QA gates for DevOps and development artifacts — from the start using lefthook instead of pre-commit, executed in a dedicated container image.
Technologies used: arc42, req42, tpo42, docToolchain, PlantUML, ArchiMate, C4 model, ADR, C, C++ (GTest), CMake, Bare Metal (ARM Cortex-M3/M7), OCI containers, Jenkins, lefthook, Prometheus, Grafana, SBOM, CRA, OPC, SCADA, PLC integration, IPv6 migration, Zero Trust, Sociocracy 3.0, Cynefin
Fred H.
Last position:
Software Architect and Developer at Personal project
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.
Label: Java, Maven, RDF, RDF4J, OWL, SPARQL, Model Context Protocol, Spring AI, Docker, GitHub, Git, Claude Code, Obsidian, DDD, Hexagonal Architecture, ArchUnit, JUnit, AssertJ, Interface Development, Software Architecture, Continuous Integration, Knowledge Management

About the technology
Structured documentation
AsciiDoc is a lightweight markup language for writing structured technical content in plain text. Teams use it for software manuals, API references, installation guides, release notes, architecture records and internal knowledge bases. Its readable source files can be versioned, reviewed and maintained alongside code.
Asciidoctor toolchain
Asciidoctor is the main processor in the AsciiDoc ecosystem. It converts AsciiDoc source into HTML, PDF and other publishing formats through extensible workflows. Strong specialists understand themes, attributes, includes, cross-references, diagrams, syntax extensions and the differences between Asciidoctor and Asciidoctor.js.
Documentation systems
AsciiDoc becomes especially useful when documentation grows beyond isolated files. Antora organizes versioned, component-based documentation sites, while Git repositories support review and controlled publishing. Experts often connect the toolchain with CI pipelines, static site generators, diagram tools, search services and custom templates.
Typical deliverables
- Product documentation with navigation, references and version control
- API and integration guides for technical users
- PDF manuals and branded HTML publication themes
- Antora documentation sites with reusable components
- Migration from proprietary or less structured documentation formats
When specialists help
Companies bring in freelance AsciiDoc specialists when documentation is inconsistent, difficult to publish or tightly coupled to one person’s knowledge. They can establish source conventions, refactor large content sets, automate builds and improve the reader experience. In Germany, remote collaboration often works well when repositories, review rules and publishing responsibilities are clearly defined; on-site work can help with workshops and complex content migrations.
What quality looks like
A strong professional combines precise writing with practical knowledge of version control, build automation and information architecture. They separate reusable content from page-specific material, keep cross-references reliable and test output in every required format. Good specialists also clarify audience, ownership, translation needs and release processes before changing the documentation system.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about AsciiDoc.
AsciiDoc is used to write structured technical documentation, including manuals, API guides, tutorials, release notes and architecture records. Asciidoctor then converts the source into formats such as HTML and PDF, while Antora can publish versioned documentation sites.
AsciiDoc offers richer built-in structure for long technical documents, reusable content, cross-references, attributes and publication workflows. Markdown is often simpler for short pages, but AsciiDoc can be a better fit when documentation needs consistent navigation, multiple outputs or complex references.
A capable AsciiDoc specialist often works with Git, CI pipelines, Asciidoctor and Antora. Knowledge of HTML, CSS, technical writing, information architecture, diagram tools and API documentation is also valuable, depending on the deliverables.
The right level depends on the documentation scope and the existing toolchain. A focused content migration may need a specialist who can handle syntax, structure and publishing, while a large Antora setup calls for experience with repositories, versioning, automation and governance.
Yes. AsciiDoc work is well suited to remote collaboration because source files, reviews and build pipelines can live in shared repositories. Teams should agree on documentation standards, review ownership, release timing and communication language; German or English may be relevant depending on the audience.
Antora is useful when a company needs a structured documentation site with multiple components, versions and navigation rules. A basic Asciidoctor workflow may be enough for standalone manuals or controlled document generation.
Ask for examples of published documentation and inspect how clearly the source is structured. A strong AsciiDoc professional should explain content reuse, attributes, cross-references, output testing and how the workflow will be maintained after handover.
An AsciiDoc assignment may involve much more than writing markup. Freelancers should clarify the target formats, repository setup, review process, branding, diagrams, translation requirements, versioning model and ownership of the publishing pipeline before estimating the work.
