A designer-developer hybrid with ~25 years hands-on. I build AI products end-to-end — speech recognition, speech synthesis, RAG and agents — and run them myself on security-hardened Linux servers. Whole platforms, shipped solo from architecture to deployment.
Senior full-stack & AI engineer with ~25 years hands-on across software, design, databases and content. I ship complex production systems end-to-end and solo — from the model pipeline through the API to the polished, SEO-optimised interface.
My focus is applied AI that actually ships: custom speech recognition and synthesis, fine-tuned language models, RAG pipelines with vector search and reranking, and tool-using agents. The most visible result is mazdek.ai — the first AI platform purpose-built for the Kurdish language — where I am lead developer and own the core technology.
On top of that sits deep command of modern TypeScript stacks (Next.js, Fastify/tRPC, Node.js/Bun) and the infrastructure underneath: Docker, Traefik, PostgreSQL/pgvector, Redis, object storage and search indexes — 20+ services on a single hardened Ubuntu host, with rolling, zero-downtime deployments. A designer-developer hybrid who has delivered web platforms, e-commerce, custom CRMs and automations for international clients — across language barriers, through precise, fully-written async collaboration.
Selecting, fine-tuning and embedding LLMs into products: tool-using agents, structured output, guardrails and cost control — self-hosted (Ollama) or via API, depending on privacy and budget. In production e.g. as mazdekClaw on mazdek.ch: an AI agent that works directly in client projects' code over SSH.
Custom speech recognition and synthesis, trained for languages the large vendors neglect. In mazdek.ai that means 1,220+ synthetic voices, voice cloning and live two-way interpreting.
Documents, audio and video turned into searchable knowledge: embeddings, vector search with pgvector, reranking, and sourced answers instead of invented ones.
Inference servers, model deployment, queues, caching and observability — containerised, replicated behind a gateway and rolled out progressively, without users noticing a thing.
All four areas are live in production today, running on infrastructure I operate myself.

The first AI platform purpose-built for Kurdish: speech recognition, 1,220+ synthetic voices with voice cloning, translation across 255+ languages, spell checking, and an AI chat that cites its sources. As lead developer I own the core technology — from the language models to the Docker infrastructure the platform runs on.
The entire platform behind the digital agency mazdek — built solo: a 5-language website of ~960 pages with a self-built system of 19 specialised AI agents, an AI project wizard, a client portal, an admin back office, and mazdekClaw, the AI project assistant that turns client requests into tickets or works directly in the client project's code — via the portal or WhatsApp.
WhatsApp ordering platform for Swiss restaurants — multi-tenant, with Stripe payments.
Kurdish Android app focused on the Kirmanckî/Zazakî dialect.
The world's first real-time online multiplayer Kurdish quiz game.
Vocabulary learning game in 8 languages — published as an Android app.
Open Kurdish TTS, ASR & LLM models — the research work mazdek.ai grew out of.
The most recent of 20+ custom projects, all delivered solo. Bespoke software, AI integrations and automations available on request.
Full terminal-based Linux management with no control panel (cPanel / WHM), hardened for security and tuned for performance: Docker, Traefik, PostgreSQL/pgvector, Redis, object storage and inference services — 20+ containers per platform, with rolling zero-downtime deployments.
Native and cross-platform apps and games for iOS and Android (Flutter, Kotlin), with titles published on Google Play — including real-time multiplayer and on-device AI features.
Native Windows and macOS applications, plus automations, scrapers and data pipelines that run in the background and wire systems together.
