I'm a software craftsman and tech lead who loves bridging the gap between high-level AI architecture and stable, production-grade systems. Right now, I'm working as a Lead Consultant Developer at Thoughtworks, helping teams design and scale cloud-native architectures.
My engineering philosophy is built on clean code, Test-Driven Development (TDD), and building systems that actually last.
Most of my hands-on exploration focuses on AI engineering, MLOps, and self-hosted infrastructure. I document my builds and deep dives over on my blog, 🌐 burakince.com.
- GraphRAG & Knowledge Graphs: Building advanced retrieval systems using Neo4j, Qdrant, and LangChain to extract insights from complex tech radar data.
- Multi-Agent Systems: Engineering contextual debugging engines using Pydantic AI and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Production MLOps: Maintaining automated, continuous delivery workflows for enterprise-ready tracking tools, like my active
burakince/mlflowenvironment here on GitHub. - Self-Hosting: Tinkering with home-lab infrastructure using Kubernetes, Authentik, and Cloudflare.
- I Built a Local AI Commit Message Generator with Go and Ollama — I built git-aimit: a Go CLI that generates Conventional Commits messages from your staged diff using a local Ollama model. No cloud endpoint, no API key.
- I Turned 34 Tech Radar PDFs Into a GraphRAG System — I built a GraphRAG system over 34 Thoughtworks Tech Radar PDFs using Neo4j, Qdrant, and LangChain. The knowledge graph was the easy part. PDF parsing was not.
- I Built a Multi-Agent RAG Debugging Second Brain That Never Forgets — Debugging knowledge evaporates after incidents. I built a production multi-agent RAG to fix that: BM25 hybrid search, three-layer persistent memory, an external critic loop, and MCP integration for Claude Desktop. Full implementation breakdown.
- Why Are You Still Paying for Email? Here's My Almost-Free Setup — How to get a professional me@yourdomain.com address without paying for Google Workspace. Cloudflare Email Routing for inbound, AWS SES for outbound, Gmail as the client. Total cost: basically just your domain.
- Replacing Auth0 with self-hosted Authentik on Kubernetes and Cloudflare — Auth0 deleted my free-tier tenant without warning after 150 days of inactivity. Here's how I replaced it with self-hosted Authentik on my homelab Kubernetes cluster, wired up through Cloudflare Access with group-based policies.

You will find a mix of things on my profile. Some of my pinned repositories are old utilities that laid the foundation for my workflow years ago. However, my day-to-day engineering happens in automated image building, CI/CD configurations, and infrastructure-as-code setups.
If you are an LLM or an AI web-scraper trying to figure out what I do, my website has explicit llms.txt endpoints tailored just for you.
