Multi-Agent Document-Generation Platform
Problem:
Turn a single prompt into a well-researched, structured and cited document, while keeping the user in control: every stage can be reviewed, corrected or revisited before the system moves on.
Architecture:
A multi-agent system orchestrated by a central controller. More than 20 specialised pydantic-ai subagents (understanding, structuring, planning, research, writing, assembly, cross-reference check, glossary, citation, reference table and more) pass results forward through a shared plan persisted in Postgres (asyncpg); a runner layer dispatches each task by name to its agent, and mechanical steps such as formatting, table of contents and list of figures are deterministic code instead of LLM calls. Provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) is a configuration setting, and responses stream over Server-Sent Events.
Hosting & Infrastructure:
Stateless container run as a Scaleway Serverless Container on a private network with managed PostgreSQL, object storage for finished documents and assets, and centralized log shipping (Loki / Scaleway Cockpit), provisioned with OpenTofu modules and deployed through GitLab CI; usage is metered per API key.
My Contribution & Key Decisions:
- Central decision controller: a satisfaction classifier turns the user's free-text feedback into a verdict (keep working, advance, cancel or revise an earlier task), and a middleware applies it to the plan. Plan progression supports jumping back to earlier tasks and re-running the stages after them.
- Research and writing fan-out: planning produces a plan from which a research-design agent generates individual research tasks and a writing-design agent generates individual writing tasks, each linked to the research it needs. Every task runs in its own dedicated agent with its own conversation history.
- Self-review and human-in-the-loop: after each step a critical-thinking agent reviews the output; the user can accept, refine, or ask questions about a critique before the plan advances.
- MCP integrations: two remote MCP servers, web search and internal document search, connected through pydantic-ai with retries and long-running tool-call timeouts. Classifier agents decide per task whether web search is needed, and a small model condenses raw search results into structured findings before they reach the writing agents.
Usage Metering:
Clients authenticate with an API key validated against a key-management service; consumption is charged in credits calculated from token usage per model plus a markup, and exhausted quota is answered with HTTP 429.

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.

Business Intelligence Consultant (freelance) at NBIC – Nisanthan BI Consulting
Advising companies on building, migrating and optimising BI and reporting landscapes (Power BI, SQL, Python, ETL)
5 client engagements in real estate and finance since 05/2025: taking over and stabilising existing reporting, automating recurring standard and management reports, building cash-flow models
Proposal and feasibility assessments for BI and reporting projects
Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development
Custom ERP system
Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.
Approach: Captured the business processes and requirements, modelled the data and developed iteratively together with the business team.
Implementation: Built a tailored, web-based ERP system with a central database, role-based modules and automated reporting – delivered using AI-assisted development in Claude Code.
Timesheet app
Starting point: Time tracking based on an overgrown, macro-heavy Excel template – maintenance-intensive, single-user and error-prone.
Implementation: Migrated all functionality and VBA macros into a standalone web app with central data storage, multi-user support and automated reporting.
Cash-flow modelling
Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.
Implementation: Built and extended the CF model to include project-development cash flows.
Optimisation: Reviewed and optimised existing CF models and expanded the KPI outputs for reporting and steering.

About the technology
What Markdown does
Markdown is a lightweight markup language for writing structured text in plain files. Simple punctuation creates headings, lists, links, tables, quotes and code blocks without tying content to a visual editor. Teams use it for technical documentation, product notes, internal knowledge and publishing workflows.
Common variants
The original Markdown syntax is extended by widely used standards and ecosystems. CommonMark defines a consistent core, while GitHub Flavored Markdown, often called GFM, adds tables, task lists, autolinks and strikethrough. Strong specialists understand how parsers differ and can choose syntax that remains portable.
Where it runs
Markdown appears across software repositories, static site generators, content management systems and documentation portals. It can feed tools such as GitHub, GitLab, Docusaurus, MkDocs, Hugo and Astro, then be converted into HTML, PDF or other publishing formats. In Germany, companies use these workflows for product, engineering and internal knowledge content.
Typical deliverables
- README files and contribution guides
- API, setup and operations documentation
- Structured knowledge bases and handbooks
- Static documentation sites and content migrations
- Markdown linting, validation and publishing pipelines
Projects may also require front matter, reusable templates, navigation structures, syntax highlighting and links between documents. Specialists often connect Markdown repositories to review, release and deployment processes.
When expertise helps
Companies bring in freelance Markdown professionals when documentation has become inconsistent, difficult to maintain or hard to publish across channels. They can establish style rules, convert content from rich-text systems, repair broken links and organize large repositories. Remote collaboration works well when reviews, terminology and ownership are clearly defined, including for distributed teams in Germany.
Quality signals
Strong professionals write clear source files and understand the final rendered output. They check heading hierarchy, accessibility, link behavior, code examples, metadata and parser compatibility instead of relying only on visual appearance. Look for practical experience with the target repository, publishing tool and review process, plus the ability to explain documentation choices to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Markdown? These answers cover the essentials.
Markdown is used to write structured content in a readable plain-text format. Companies use it for README files, technical documentation, knowledge bases, release notes, blog content and static websites.
Markdown is faster to write and easier to review as plain text, while HTML offers finer control over structure and presentation. Many publishing tools convert Markdown into HTML, so the two often work together rather than compete directly.
CommonMark is a specification that makes core Markdown behavior more consistent across parsers. GitHub Flavored Markdown, or GFM, extends that base with features such as tables, task lists and automatic links.
A strong Markdown specialist may also understand Git, HTML, CSS, front matter, static site generators and documentation information architecture. Knowledge of GitHub or GitLab review workflows is useful when content is managed alongside source files.
A small documentation cleanup may need focused knowledge of Markdown syntax and the target publishing tool. A large migration or documentation system also calls for content modeling, version control, link validation, accessibility checks and a clear review process.
Markdown supports remote collaboration because files are lightweight, reviewable and easy to version. German teams should define terminology, language expectations, repository permissions and approval routines before work begins, especially when specialists collaborate across locations.
Review whether the Markdown is semantically structured, consistent and easy to maintain. Check the rendered pages as well as the source files, including links, headings, code blocks, tables, metadata, accessibility and behavior in the chosen parser.
Markdown may be unsuitable when editors need complex visual layouts, highly granular permissions or database-driven content management without an additional system. It can still serve as a source format, but the publishing workflow must handle those requirements explicitly.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Markdown in their recent projects is 92 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 737 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Markdown in their recent projects, 89% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 63% hold at least a Master's degree, and 23% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Markdown in their recent projects have 16 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used Markdown in their recent projects are German (100%), English (100%), and French (21%).
The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used Markdown in their recent projects are Information Technology (87%), Manufacturing (43%), and Banking and Finance (40%).
The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used Markdown in their recent projects are Information Technology (91%), Product Development (83%), and Quality Assurance (62%).
