MARKNA Consulting helps organizations modernize software systems, extend senior engineering capacity, and explore practical IoT, predictive maintenance, and energy optimization pilots.
What we do
Three focused practice areas, each led by senior engineers with hands-on delivery experience.
Modernize legacy systems, improve workflows, clarify requirements, and plan reliable software delivery.
Add senior engineering capacity with clear communication, technical ownership, and time-zone aware collaboration.
Start practical industrial pilots using machine data, edge devices, dashboards, alerts, and realistic savings analysis.

IoT, Predictive Maintenance & Energy Optimization
Modernization flow
We wrap legacy systems with clean API layers, migrate workloads to Azure, and deliver maintainable software — without disrupting daily operations.
See modernization serviceInnovation focus
Most predictive maintenance offerings are built for large enterprises with deep data teams. We design lean, practical pilots for small and mid-sized manufacturers — combining off-the-shelf sensors, modern data pipelines, and ML models tuned to real production conditions.
Founder
Senior Software Engineer & Digital Modernization Consultant
Mentor Arifaj is a senior software engineer and digital modernization consultant with more than 20 years of experience designing and improving enterprise software systems. His work focuses on .NET, ASP.NET Core, REST APIs, microservices, Azure, SQL Server, software modernization, and practical IoT/Artificial Intelligence solutions for industrial and business environments.
Why MARKNA
Senior-led consulting for companies that need practical modernization, reliable engineering capacity, and technology decisions that can actually be implemented.
Engagements are led directly by Mentor Arifaj, not handed off to junior staff.
Architecture, code review, and technical decisions stay with senior engineers throughout.
IoT and modernization work can start with a focused, time-boxed pilot before scaling further.
Flexible overlap with European and North American working hours, English-first communication, and clear cross-border contracting norms.
Senior talent from Kosovo — with strong European overlap and workable North American overlap — at competitive nearshore rates.
Combined experience in software systems and applied IoT and AI for industrial environments.
Who we help
MARKNA is best suited for companies that need practical execution, senior engineering judgment, and clear modernization or pilot outcomes.
Companies looking for senior engineering capacity with time-zone aware hours, clear communication, and technical ownership.
Factories ready to start a practical one-machine pilot for telemetry, anomaly detection, dashboards, and alerts.
Teams that need to improve or replace older software systems, internal tools, or web platforms without rebuilding from scratch.
Selected experience
Experience with custom web platforms, Shopify theme development, performance improvements, product-page logic, and conversion-focused frontend implementation.
Experience with .NET-based systems, requirements analysis, technical documentation, modernization planning, and implementation support.
Research and prototype work around machine telemetry, edge devices, anomaly detection, dashboards, and practical pilot design for manufacturing environments.
Some previous work may be anonymized due to client or institutional confidentiality.
Products & Labs
Two things are far enough along to show. Each one is listed with its real maturity state, its own description, and its own limitation — neither is presented as more finished than it is.
Factory Visibility
MARKNA Factory Visibility is a practical dashboard for factories that want direct visibility into machines, downtime, and energy use. The demo uses sample data and is available for private walkthroughs.
Limitation: Sample data. Private walkthroughs only.
Products & Labs
A deterministic assistant that answers questions about MARKNA's services from a fixed set of approved MARKNA information. It does not use a generative language model, and it does not write answers of its own.
Limitation: Deterministic, not generative. It answers only from approved content, and says so when it has no approved answer.
These are shown together for convenience. Presenting them on one page does not merge, migrate or restart the separate work behind each of them.
MARKNA
We clarify your goals, current systems, constraints, and whether MARKNA is a good fit.
We review the business, process, or technical situation and identify practical opportunities.
We define a small pilot, roadmap, or implementation plan with realistic scope and assumptions.
We implement the agreed work using clear milestones and regular communication.
We review results, lessons learned, and decide whether to expand, pause, or adjust.
Next step
Share your challenge, current system, or pilot idea. MARKNA can help clarify the scope, technical options, and realistic first step.
