Markus / About
Plate II · OriginsA builder, end to end.
I'm Markus — founder of Midra AI and a computer science builder based in Hamilton, Canada. I work on practical AI systems for companies whose operations are too messy for generic software: sales workflows, document-heavy processes, internal knowledge, reporting, and automation.
My path has been anything but linear. I reached the finals of CERN's 2020 Beamline for Schools competition with a graphene-based detector concept, placed 3rd nationally with a smart-city project, and gave a TEDx talk in Istanbul about curiosity, perseverance, and going beyond boundaries.
Before Midra, I built AI-powered internal tools and automation systems in industry, rebuilt company web infrastructure, and led tech and community initiatives including Turks in Tech Toronto and Cosmos Data.

Plate III · The CompanyCustom AI systems, built to last.
Custom AI systems today · Repeatable operating platforms tomorrow
Midra builds AI agents and automation for companies in the awkward middle — too large for spreadsheets, too specific for generic software, too lean for enterprise systems. We capture operational knowledge from emails, meetings, and documents, then automate the repetitive work and turn it into clear, actionable reports.
IAI Sales & Customer Systems
Lead handling, follow-ups, CRM updates, proposal support, and customer communication automation.
IIOperational Intelligence
Reports, dashboards, meeting summaries, email and document extraction, and decision support.
IIIIndustry-Specific Platforms
Custom tools for companies with workflows that generic software can't model properly.
IVAI Voice & Front-Office Agents
Voice and chat agents for intake, scheduling, qualification, and customer support.

AI Internal Knowledge App
Built an AI-powered internal knowledge app for an industrial operations environment, making scattered company documents, workflows, and operational information easier to access and reuse.
III
Submission & Approval Automation
Built automation for an internal approval workflow that routes submission emails and attachments into structured folders, improving document traceability and reducing manual file handling.
IV
Operational Document Tools
Built internal tools for document-heavy industrial workflows, including PDF/document processing, reporting support, and automation around operational records and project documentation.
V
Corporate Website Rebuild
Rebuilt and managed an industrial company's public website, creating a cleaner digital presence and a stronger foundation for service pages, training content, and future updates.
VI
Content & Approval Workflow

TEDxMEFUniversity, Istanbul · 2021
"Journey Beyond Boundaries" — a talk on the three foundations that shape how I work: limitlessness, curiosity, and thinking. On chasing ideas past every border, and what it takes to walk the road less traveled.
