What I do

I take an organization from “we should use AI” to a system that runs in production: technical discovery, architecture, implementation, deployment and adoption. My specialty is making AI agents safe and useful on production enterprise data — especially Oracle databases at billions-of-records scale.

  • 8+ years across software delivery, technical leadership and applied AI; 7 years of pre-sales technical work — discovery, demos, architecture proposals and executive presentations in German and English.
  • Shipped a customer-facing LLM system for security and risk detection over years of telecom data.
  • Built a Rust engine that compresses a multi-day Oracle workload into a seconds-long hot path over billions of records.
  • Led logistics IT change-request programs end to end — scoping, estimation, delivery and rollout.

Open-source work Oracle itself cites

I wrote the original clean-room, pure-Rust Oracle Database thin driver and published it on crates.io as oracledb (21 releases, June–July 2026). In August 2026 that crate name passed to Oracle’s own driver team for the official Rust driver — and their README names me:

“This replaces the original Rust thin driver produced by Muhammed Durakovic. The new name for that driver is oraclemcp-driver-cx.”

Oracle, rust-oracledb README — History
  • rust-oracledb / oraclemcp-driver-cx — the original pure-Rust Oracle thin driver. 2,462 python-oracledb conformance tests passing, zero unsafe.
  • oraclemcp — safe-by-default Oracle access for AI agents, in the official MCP registry.
  • plsql-intelligence — offline code intelligence and change-impact analysis for Oracle PL/SQL.
  • invoicekit — one Apache-2.0 engine for global B2B e-invoicing.
  • Tilawi — a free AI Qur’an companion with on-device speech recognition, on the App Store and Google Play.
