I ship AI and automation that teams actually adopt

Software engineer in AI & automation with a project-management edge, I scope the problem, talk to the stakeholders, and drive it to adoption. At vountain I proposed and led an LLM document pipeline handling 100+ onboarding docs a week; automations I built at Grayhat and Webmedia were adopted company-wide.

Built and adopted

What teams kept using

The things I built that whole teams took on and kept using, long after I shipped them.

  1. GenAI document pipeline

    vountain · fintech, Hanover

    Problem
    Asset onboarding ran on manual data entry.
    Decision
    Proposed and now lead a GenAI pipeline: automated extraction, validation, and a human check before anything is trusted.

    Outcome
    Automated extraction across 100+ documents a week.
    Adoption
    Running in production, replacing manual entry.

  2. Automations that stuck

    Grayhat & Webmedia · internal + client ops

    Problem
    Untracked async standups, and client Slack requests turned into tickets by hand.
    Decision
    n8n + LLM automations: a standup summariser reporting to leadership, and a Slack-to-ClickUp intake with deadlines.

    Slack reqLLMClickUp task
    Outcome
    Daily progress visibility without meetings; client messages become tracked tasks automatically.
    Adoption
    Company-wide at two teams.

  3. Learning platform, then the PR queue

    Dubai school · six-month freelance

    Problem
    A Dubai school needed a learning platform built.
    Decision
    Delivered it over a six-month freelance engagement.
    Outcome
    Promoted mid-project, from building it to reviewing the junior developers' pull requests.

    Promoted mid-project

and it all stayed rooted.

BriefPilot

Photograph a German official letter and it reads the text back to you. That is the first step toward telling you, in plain language, what it means and what to do.

The OCR pipeline and a photo quality-gate (it asks you to retake an unreadable scan instead of showing garbled text) are shipped. Classification and the plain-English explanation come next.

Quantum Playground

Quantum states are hard to reason about as vectors of complex numbers. This is a visual, interactive representation that makes gate effects and entanglement observable: build qubits, apply gates, and watch a Bell pair and a teleportation protocol play out in real time.

The state engine is fully typed and separated from the rendering layer. Every push builds and deploys automatically to the live site.

Multiverse Machine

Type a sentence and watch an AI write it word by word, with every word it almost chose branching off as a faded parallel timeline you can click into and follow instead.

The whole model runs in your browser: no sign-in, no API key, nothing you type ever leaves your device.

My path

Every step lifted the next

I did not take the shortest road into engineering. I took the one that kept handing me something to carry forward. Here is what each step gave me.

  1. Freelance developer2022–2025

    Freelance developer2022–2025

    What I took from here

    Where I learned to ship. I built web and mobile apps for real clients around the world, in Java, JavaScript, Python and Flutter. Real clients mean real deadlines, so I learned early that working software is the only thing that counts.

  2. Business analyst2025

    Business analyst2025

    What I took from here

    Where I learned to see the product before the code. I stopped jumping straight to building and started with one question: why does this need to exist, and what problem does it solve. Then market analysis, competitors, the angle that stands out, and a user story behind every feature. Build with intent, never by reflex.

  3. Project coordinator2025

    Project coordinator2025

    What I took from here

    Where I learned how things actually get delivered. Over seven months: keeping many moving pieces shipping on deadline without letting anything slip through the gaps, stakeholders informed, the team aligned, the project moving when it would rather stall. The discipline of delivery.

  4. Project manager intern2026

    What I took from here

    Curiosity pulled me up a level, to see a whole project from the very top. I could see how every role's quality rolls up into whether the finished thing is excellent or just fine. And it let me use the part of me that works best with people: I read a gap not as a problem but as a place where value is waiting to be added, and I get people delivering in a way they genuinely enjoy.

    Where it all arrives

    And then it came together. My genuine passion has always been engineering, and here I do it with everything the journey handed me. The real work is quieter than the code: the product thinking, the delivery discipline, and the communication that make what I build actually get adopted and trusted.

None of it was a detour. Every step handed me something I still carry, and it all shows up in how I build.I went from writing the specifications to building the systems they describe.

That's the story, up to now. The next part I'd rather build with you. Say hello at ariba.anjum.se@gmail.com.
