AI & Software Engineering
I'm a QA Engineer, AI at TrueLearn. I build evaluation systems, LLM-as-a-judge graders, and hallucination and guardrail tests for AI features. Before that, I spent six years building test automation for web, mobile, and APIs.
Islamic Scholarship & Community Leadership
I serve as imam, religious educator, and community leader for the Bosnian Muslim community in Erie, Pennsylvania. The work ranges from Friday sermons and pastoral counseling to teaching children and leading community-wide events.
Formal training
University of Sarajevo, 2006–2011. Formal training in Qur'anic studies, hadith, fiqh, and Islamic ethics.
Authorship & Literary Translation
I've written books in Bosnian and English since 2013, published under the name Adem Deniz Garic. My work moves between Bosnia and America: memory, faith, migration, and the search for home.
I don’t write to impress. I write to stay honest, to heal, and to remember who I am.

Translation practice
I specialize in Bosnian-to-English literary translation. I preserve voice, cultural texture, Turkish dialectal forms, and Sarajevan expressions rather than aiming for literal accuracy. I also edit poetry, short fiction, and long-form essays.
A lyrical exploration of identity, migration, and the quiet search for belonging. The poems move from the streets of Sarajevo to Erie, Pennsylvania, tracing a life shaped by memory, faith, war, fatherhood, and the weight of everyday moments.
Stories that move between the green hills of Bosnia and the wide streets of America: village mischief near Tešanj, the quiet routines of Erie, and the slow work of building a life in a new country. They're written with warmth, humor, and honesty about carrying two worlds inside you.
Poetry, stories, and personal reflections from a Bosnian writer living in America.
Medium↗Essays, childhood stories, and poems, published in Readers Club and Pen With Paper.
A Bosnian-language literary novel, currently being written.
Devotional song lyrics written for and performed at community religious gatherings.
Real Estate
