Haresh Kharwa

AI-Driven Software Developer
& Training Content Creator

I spot the gaps in how my company works — and build the software that closes them. From an AI-powered tool that turns a flight manual into a complete bilingual training course, to a 3D inspection viewer pilots use on iPads before flight, to the platform that tracks every certification across ~170 people. Solo full-stack builder with 15+ years across e-learning, web, and modern AI tooling.

// What I do

End-to-end e-learning, in two languages

I handle the full Moodle stack at my company — user management, courses, modules, assignments, gradings, attendance, certificates — and turn complex flight manuals into bilingual (German & English) HTML courses learners can take on iPad. When stock plugins don’t fit, I write my own — and make two custom plugins talk to each other so the platform does exactly what crews need.

// How I work

Spot a gap. Build the fix.

From idea to live URL, alone. I write the Python and JavaScript, build the Docker image, push to GitLab CI/CD, deploy to the production server, configure the reverse proxy, set up the subdomain — and maintain it long after launch. Four live platforms run this way today.

// Why AI-driven

AI as a build partner

My e-learning studio takes a PDF manual and returns a complete course — chapters, modules, AI-generated images, real-world scenarios, worked examples, bilingual voiceovers, a PowerPoint deck, and a SCORM package ready for Moodle. A built-in toggle switches between AI and local Natural Language Processing — so confidential documents never have to leave the server. AI isn’t a buzzword in my stack. It’s how the work gets done.

// What I've built

Live platforms

All four built at Avilus GmbH — a Munich-based military drone manufacturer, aircraft producer, and EASA-certified flight operator. Each platform came from spotting a problem at the company; all four run in production today — designed, built, deployed, and maintained by me, end-to-end.

Flagship · AI-Powered

Upload a PDF. Get back a complete bilingual Moodle course.

Drop in a flight manual and the studio produces everything an instructor would need: chapters and modules, AI-generated images, real-world scenarios, worked examples, German & English voiceovers, a PowerPoint deck, Moodle-compatible bilingual HTML pages, and a SCORM package with dual-language voiceover — all ready to upload to Moodle. A built-in toggle lets the user choose the generation engine: AI for the polished output, or local Natural Language Processing when the source contains confidential documents that can’t leave the server. Cuts course-authoring time from weeks to hours.

3D Inspection Viewer

iPad-First

Pilots inspect the aircraft on iPad — before they fly the real one.

Interactive pre-flight inspection module embedded inside Moodle via iframe. Pilots tap hotspots on a 3D drone model, follow a guided walk-around path, and pull up inspection images and video clips at each checkpoint. Built iPad-first with pinch-to-zoom, two-finger pan and rotate, and finger-drag on every interactive element. One viewer hosts multiple aircraft — each project gets its own deep link.

~170 users · daily use

The central operations hub for the entire flight organisation.

One platform for everything a regulated drone operator has to keep track of: crew training records with expiry alerts, a point-of-contact directory, regulatory correspondence, safety incident reports, site visits, maintenance and tech logs. Built-in compliance trackers for SORA and LOFA filings keep the company audit-ready. Generates the weekly flight plan as a branded PDF and pushes notifications via Microsoft Teams and email. Supports bulk Excel import and exports to CSV, Excel, or PDF. Role-based permissions per department with a full audit trail.

Tapping company talent

When the answer doesn’t exist yet, this is where the whole company helps find it.

We build technology that has never existed before, so we hit problems with no known solutions. Any department can post a challenge here, and any employee — from any department — can suggest a solution. Everyone sees every suggestion, can reply, like, and react with emojis. Designed to tap hidden talent across the org and turn cross-functional problem-solving into a habit.

Custom Moodle plugins

When stock plugins fall short, I write my own — and make two custom plugins communicate with each other so the LMS does exactly what crews need.

// Also handle
Server, hosting, subdomains

Docker server administration, deployments, updates, maintenance — plus DNS and subdomain management for every platform above.

Looking for the next gap

I’m constantly scanning for problems my colleagues hit every day — and quietly building the software that makes those problems disappear.

A note on how I build: I use AI — Claude and ChatGPT — as my primary engineering collaborator. I architect, scope, review, deploy, and maintain every platform myself, but I lean heavily on AI for the implementation work. I’d rather be upfront about that than oversell deep framework expertise in an interview.
