Manufacturing intelligence platform with enterprise workflows, RAG, real-time AI assistant features, and multi-repository backend architecture.

• Built and extended production AI/backend services with Django, DRF, FastAPI, GraphQL, Celery, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and WebSockets across a modular multi-repository platform.
• Contributed to ARIS V2, a real-time manufacturing AI assistant using LangChain, LangGraph, MCP tool orchestration, planning/execution flows, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Qdrant, and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch-backed retrieval.
• Supported rollout expansion from ARIS V1 in 4 of 17 client production plants to ARIS V2 currently active in 13 of 17 plants, increasing real-world deployment coverage to more than 50% of the client footprint.
• Worked on document-grounded RAG functionality including ingestion, OCR, chunking, embeddings, indexing, retrieval, reranking, and grounded answer generation for industrial workflows.

• DTO class generator: In-house development of a tool for the automatic generation of classes, functions, and methods for use in .NET Core projects based on SAP Business One Service Layer metadata
• E-invoice import add-on: Development of a SAP Business One add-on / coresuite module for the automated import of ZUGFeRD e-invoices as incoming invoices – with configurable mapping to flexibly control the import logic across four mapping types (DIRECT, SQL, FIXED, EXPR). The add-on is available as a licensed product for SAP Business One customers.

Stack: SAP Business One, SAP Business One Service Layer, coresuite Country Package, C#
