Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

md-italia: one Markdown file becomes an accessible government portal page

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

One source of truth for Italian public-administration procedures: experts write each procedure as a single Markdown file in a purpose-built editor, and a custom renderer turns that same file into the public portal’s accessible page — removing the manual step where an editor re-entered every report into the platform’s forms. Hundreds of real procedures have been rendered through it; deployment to the live portal is the step in front of it.

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Compiles the procedures and laws behind procedimentipa.gov.it into an Obsidian-compatible markdown vault: a linked knowledge graph that people and LLM agents navigate by following links instead of re-running retrieval on every question.

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

A full-stack records-management app built for the Italian protocollo informatico model — Italy’s legally mandated document-registration regime: every company document is registered with a sequential protocol number, fingerprinted and encrypted, and each day’s registrations are sealed into a hashed daily register that makes after-the-fact tampering detectable.

Car Graveyard — scrapyard finder for Italy

About

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

I’m Hakan, a software engineer who builds AI-heavy full-stack systems: LLM & ML pipelines that live inside real products, and the engineering around them that makes their output trustworthy.

Since 2025 I’ve been at working at Go Project, an Italian software company. My main work there is the AI authoring platform behind procedimentipa.gov.it, the Italian government’s public catalog of administrative procedures: AI workflows draft procedures directly from legislation, and legal experts review every one before it is published. The public portal launched in July 2026 and serves around 700 procedures. The platform grew its own tooling ecosystem along the way — a Markdown-to-portal renderer with a purpose-built editor, an embeddable AI chat widget, an automated prompt optimizer, and an agent-navigable knowledge graph, and most importantly Scriba Harness (AI Editor for Procedure Content) of the catalog.
