Niko Karajannis
Last position:
Co-founder & AI Engineer at KAIKI GmbH
End-to-end responsibility for all products - concept, architecture, development, and production operation as the sole developer; in addition, customer meetings, proposals, and marketing.
Underwriting Copilot - AI assistant for industrial insurance (in production at customer sites)
- Supports underwriters in analyzing industrial insurance submissions - in production use at an industrial insurer.
- Framework-independent RAG architecture with Hybrid Search (BM25 + pgvector) across large, mixed document sets.
- Two-stage evaluation and observability pipeline (code assertions + LLM-as-Judge) that makes answer quality, retrieval accuracy, and citation integrity measurable in a regression-safe way.
Kaiki Menu Analyzer - Data intelligence platform (in production at customer sites)
- Automatically captures and analyzes menu data from around 25,000 German restaurants.
- Scalable 7-container architecture (FastAPI, partitioned PostgreSQL, Redis/RQ) with LLM-supported extraction of structured data from PDF, HTML, and images.
- Full CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), production cloud deployment, interactive dashboards (Dash).
Kaiki GEO Atlas - GEO platform (in production at customer sites)
- Measures brand visibility across five AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Claude), each augmented with web search, orchestrated as a DAG workflow pipeline (Dispatcher → Sub-workflows → Scoring → Report) with fail isolation.
- 6-container deployment (FastAPI, Celery, Redis, PostgreSQL); LLM cost estimation, PDF audit report, rule-based cross-signal insights (no extra LLM cost).
Data Pipeline & Analytics Platform - competitive analysis in the automotive aftermarket
- Automated data pipeline with gap analysis algorithms and role-based access control; 230+ tests.
- Backend with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy.
Product development (actively in progress)
BankingGPT - AI assistant for complaint management in cooperative banking
- Security architecture at the core: no AI draft reaches the customer without human approval - the approval decision is in auditable code, not in the language model (monotonic: the model may escalate, never downgrade).
- Real agentic building blocks, each with its own boundary: the model chooses tools itself through an MCP server (read-only, allowlist, capped, fail-safe); sensitive cases are handed off via an open A2A protocol (JSON-RPC, Agent Card, message/send/tasks/get; client implemented by me) to a separate specialist agent (securities/law), which never lowers the review requirement (pinned by test).
- Evaluation-driven over ten analysis rounds; uncovered a security flaw through independent review and blind tests that nine automated runs had missed.
- Voice AI frontend, responding live: covered cases are answered in the conversation, sensitive ones escalate before generation; response latency < 7 s measured (local GPU STT/TTS).
Stack & production readiness: Python, pydantic-ai, FastAPI/Celery, PostgreSQL/pgvector, FastMCP, fasta2a, Docker; multi-tenant capable (physical vector isolation per tenant), PII encrypted, OWASP-LLM reviewed, 275 tests, CI/CD; vendor-portable (Ollama / EU Cloud Vertex).
After-Sales Assistant - agentic RAG/GraphRAG assistant on public OEM manuals (automotive after-sales)
- Genuinely agentic on LangGraph: ReAct agent with four tools and conversation memory - the model decides on its own whether to use the manual (RAG, Chroma), a knowledge graph (GraphRAG, Neo4j/Cypher - decodes warning lights), or a workshop/booking service.
- Human-in-the-Loop before the irreversible action: before every appointment booking, the graph pauses (interrupt) and gets the driver's explicit confirmation - the same approval-before-action discipline as in BankingGPT, in a different framework.
- Eval as CI gate: a three-part scorecard (RAGAS grounding + deterministic tool-routing accuracy + DeepEval safety: does the answer mention the warning first when there is a critical warning?) blocks the pipeline; provider-agnostic (OpenAI/Azure/Anthropic), FastAPI with token streaming.
Stack: Python, LangChain/LangGraph, Chroma, Neo4j, RAGAS/DeepEval, FastAPI, Docker.

About the technology
Complaint handling
Complaint management sets up the full path from first contact to resolution. It covers intake, triage, ownership, escalation, communication, and closure. Strong specialists make the process clear for customers and consistent for the teams that handle the cases.
Systems and flow
- Define complaint categories, priorities, and routing rules
- Set up case statuses, SLAs, and escalation paths
- Connect CRM, ticketing, email, and knowledge base tools
- Build templates for replies, follow-ups, and handovers
The best specialists design flows that reduce manual work and keep every case traceable. They also make sure records stay complete enough for audits, quality reviews, and service improvement.
Where it is used
Complaint management is common in customer service, finance, telecom, insurance, logistics, and public-facing services. In Germany, many companies need it to support structured customer communication across local and international teams. The work often blends process design with tool configuration and careful documentation.
Skills that matter
A strong complaint management professional understands customer operations, quality control, and incident-style case handling. They know how to shape forms, fields, queues, notifications, and dashboards without making the process heavy. Good communication matters too, because the work touches support teams, legal teams, and management.
When to bring in help
- A new complaint process is being introduced or replaced
- Existing handling is slow, inconsistent, or hard to audit
- Systems need to be aligned across regions or brands
- Teams need help with reporting, governance, or workflow design
Freelance experts are useful when a company needs focused delivery without long ramp-up time. They can assess the current setup, fix the weak points, and leave behind a cleaner operating model.
What strong specialists deliver
The best specialists do more than configure forms. They map the customer journey, define service rules, document exceptions, and test the process with real cases. They also know how to balance speed, fairness, and traceability so the business can resolve complaints with confidence.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Complaint Management, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
A complaint management specialist designs how complaints are captured, routed, tracked, and closed. That usually includes forms, workflows, escalation rules, status models, and reporting. The goal is to make each case easy to follow for both the customer and the internal team.
In practice, complaint management is often searched for alongside complaints management and complaint handling. The terms are used for the same core discipline: managing customer complaints through a structured process. Some teams also use case management to describe part of the setup, but that can be broader.
A complaint management setup often connects CRM, ticketing, email, knowledge base, and reporting tools. In larger environments, specialists may also work with workflow engines, document storage, and audit trails. The exact stack depends on how cases enter the organization and how they must be reviewed.
A strong complaint management expert usually brings process design, customer operations, and quality management skills. They should also understand data fields, dashboards, service rules, and basic integration logic. Clear writing is important too, because complaint workflows depend on consistent wording and handoffs.
For a small process cleanup, a complaint management specialist with hands-on workflow experience may be enough. For a redesign across several teams or systems, you want someone who has handled governance, escalation design, and reporting before. The more regulated or cross-functional the setup, the more experience matters.
Yes, most complaint management work can be done remotely if the specialist can join workshops, review process documents, and work in the relevant tools. For teams in Germany, language fit and time-zone overlap often matter more than location. On-site time is mainly useful when many stakeholders need to agree on the process fast.
Look for someone who can explain the process clearly and show how they reduced manual work or improved traceability. A good complaint management specialist will ask about intake channels, escalation paths, ownership, and reporting needs before proposing changes. They should also be able to test the workflow with real scenarios, not just describe it.
A strong complaint management freelancer will ask where complaints come from, who owns them, and what outcome is expected for each case. They should also ask about existing tools, legal or audit needs, and any language requirements for customer communication. Those details shape the workflow more than the technology name itself.
