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.

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
Documentation as Code
AsciiDoc is a lightweight markup language for structured technical content. Teams use plain-text source files to create manuals, API references, architecture records, release notes and product documentation. Its readable syntax supports reusable content without locking authors into a single publishing format.
Asciidoctor Ecosystem
The Asciidoctor toolchain converts AsciiDoc into HTML, PDF, DocBook and other outputs. Asciidoctor PDF handles print-ready documents, while Antora organizes versioned documentation sites from component and module repositories. Maven and Gradle plugins help include documentation in software delivery workflows.
- Structure content with sections, attributes, includes and cross-references
- Configure Asciidoctor, Asciidoctor PDF and Antora pipelines
- Add diagrams through extensions such as PlantUML or Kroki
- Publish documentation from Git repositories
Where It Fits
AsciiDoc works well for documentation that must remain consistent across products, versions and output channels. It appears in open-source projects, software platforms, embedded systems, infrastructure documentation and regulated technical environments. Organizations in Germany often use it where distributed teams need reviewable, repository-based content.
When Experts Help
Companies bring in freelance AsciiDoc experts when an existing documentation set needs structure, migration or reliable publishing. Specialists can replace scattered word-processing files, repair broken cross-references, establish content conventions and connect documentation builds with continuous integration.
- Migrate Markdown, reStructuredText or legacy documents to AsciiDoc
- Create reusable templates, attributes and content modules
- Build Antora sites with navigation and version management
- Automate HTML and PDF publication in CI pipelines
Skills Around AsciiDoc
Strong professionals combine markup knowledge with information architecture and source control. They understand Git workflows, build automation, semantic versioning, accessibility and editorial governance. Familiarity with Java, Ruby or JavaScript may help when extending converters, writing custom attributes or integrating documentation with existing tooling.
Quality Signals
Look for a portfolio that shows both clean AsciiDoc source and polished published output. Good experts explain how they handle reuse, terminology, link validation, PDF layout and content ownership. They test builds, document the toolchain and make future edits safe for the people who maintain the repository.
Remote collaboration works well because AsciiDoc files are text-based and reviewed through Git. For teams in Germany, on-site workshops can still help align product, technical and documentation stakeholders before the publishing workflow is formalized.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about AsciiDoc.
AsciiDoc is used to write structured technical documentation, API references, manuals, tutorials, architecture records and release notes. The same source can be converted into web pages, PDFs, DocBook and other formats.
AsciiDoc offers richer built-in structures for long documentation sets, including attributes, includes, cross-references, admonitions and complex tables. Markdown is often simpler for short files, while AsciiDoc is a stronger fit when reuse, navigation and multiple output formats matter.
A strong AsciiDoc specialist usually works with Asciidoctor, Asciidoctor PDF and Antora. Git, Maven or Gradle, continuous integration systems and diagram tools such as PlantUML or Kroki are also common parts of the workflow.
Companies benefit from an AsciiDoc expert when documentation is difficult to maintain, needs migration, or must be published in several formats. Specialist support is also useful when a team is introducing Antora, reusable content or automated documentation builds.
The right level depends on the documentation system rather than on the markup alone. A small content migration may need focused AsciiDoc knowledge, while a versioned Antora portal with custom conversions calls for experience in information architecture, Git and build automation.
AsciiDoc is well suited to remote collaboration because source files can be reviewed, versioned and changed through Git. Teams in Germany can work remotely with clear written conventions, while on-site sessions may help agree on terminology, ownership and publishing rules.
Useful adjacent skills include technical writing, information architecture, Git, CI pipelines, HTML and PDF publishing. Experience with Antora, DocBook, accessibility and diagram integration is valuable for larger documentation systems.
Review whether the AsciiDoc specialist can show readable source, consistent structure and reliable output across the required formats. Ask how they test links, manage reusable content, handle PDF layout and leave the toolchain understandable for the internal team.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used AsciiDoc in their recent projects is 100 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 804 € based on an 8-hour working day.
