Model Context Protocol Experts in Germany

• Building a scalable nearshore IT developer hub (Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland) as an independent company using a BOT model (Build – Operate – Transfer)
• Identifying, selecting, and managing full-service agencies; introducing governance and control mechanisms including KPIs, SLAs, and regular service reviews
• Creating and reviewing data processing agreements and framework contracts in coordination with Legal & Compliance; integrating regulatory requirements (including KRITIS) into process design
• Advising on cloud-vs.-on-premise strategies, data storage, and authorization concepts; supporting procurement with tendering and vendor evaluations
• Change management and process harmonization between internal teams and nearshore partners; reporting to management board, CFO, and CIO

Result: Scalable IT developer hub with an audit-proof governance model, lower operating costs, and faster product development.

• A recurring problem in my own AI-supported projects: requirements analysis, use cases, and architecture decisions can be created quickly with AI support, but they remain hard to trace 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 as a continuously linked knowledge graph, traceable from the requirement to the architecture decision – queryable for both people and AI agents alike. Technically based on RDF/OWL and its own MCP server.

• Result: MCP daemon running, Docker image automatically published on GHCR, nine hexagonal modules, eleven ADRs (including an open-core licensing model). Requirements engineering and ubiquitous language hexagon active. Publicly available since 07/2026 as a Community Edition under Apache-2.0 (github.com/kogn-io/arknet), together with the Claude Code plugin and the GHCR image; open-core model.

• PROBLEM: GTM effort is guesswork across fragmented identities and channels, with no closed feedback loop.
• BUILT: Cost-pyramid engine (L0–L3): identity resolution across ~25k entities, explainable intent scoring, and a closed decision loop (propose → execute → evaluate → learn) with calibration.

• Architected and implemented an OpenFGA-based authorization model for centralized management of users, groups, and fine-grained access control in the vendor portal.
• Architected and led delivery of the Yatta API Gateway platform using GraphQL Federation, providing a unified enterprise API layer across distributed microservices with centralized authentication, authorization and request orchestration.
• Replaced NGINX + NLB with Istio service mesh and AWS ALB; rolled out WAF, OAuth (Cognito), IP whitelisting and RBAC across environments.
• Migrated CDC from Confluent Cloud connectors to a self-hosted Kafka Connect + Debezium stack, reducing operational cost by ~80% across multiple environments.
• Implemented the Transactional Outbox pattern with Debezium for reliable, exactly-once event publishing to Kafka with Avro and Schema Registry.
• Migrated dunning/payment-recovery workflows from Airflow to Temporal, achieving 99.9% reliability for settlement handling.
• Optimised Apache Airflow with deferrable sensors to handle 1000+ concurrent DAG runs without scaling the worker pool.
• Refactored a monolithic Terraform codebase into 3 modular projects, cutting deployment time by ~45%.

agentic-engineer.online is my publicly testable live demo and at the same time the platform where I show my work. Originally created as a recruitment trial task, I have since continued to run it as my own demo, learning, and product project — on a Hetzner VPS behind a Cloudflare tunnel, through a multi-stage AI-orchestrated deploy pipeline with snapshot rollback. If a deploy step breaks, the system falls back to the last clean snapshot, the script is adjusted, the test repeated — empirical, test-driven, without hand tuning.

• Technically behind it: Python and FastAPI, an OpenRouter model cascade, SQLite persistence, and Cloudflare edge tuning.
• I am the developer and the strictest customer of my own AI work in one person — what started as a prototype has become a tool I use every day and against which I test my own products.
