Multi-Agent R&D Pipeline (3 Custom Agents) at Independent Project
Claude Code subagents, MCP, Pydantic V2, pytest, bandit
Designed and shipped 3 specialized agents that hand work down a line: a research agent writes a cited implementation spec, a coding agent builds the modular code and its tests, a review agent ranks findings by severity and applies the fixes. Each handoff is a structured document, so no stage depends on another agent's context window.
Connected the research agent to an academic-research MCP server (Semantic Scholar, ArXiv, Hugging Face Hub, citation snowballing) so every reference traces to a tool result rather than the model. Gated commits behind ruff, mypy, pytest and bandit, required human sign-off before installs and commits, and persisted session state on disk so long runs survive a context reset.

Hakan A.
Last position:
Senior Software Engineer — AI Evaluation & Benchmarks at Diversido
- Provided technical leadership for a 4-engineer team delivering 3 major client platforms in 12 months with microservices architecture and scalability solutions — 100% of scoped majors shipped ahead of schedule vs. planned milestones (baseline: prior releases often slipped 1–2 sprints).
- Ran AI model evaluation and model outputs evaluation on LLM/AI vendor APIs: safety, completeness, instruction adherence, and groundedness review before go-live; cut escaped bad outputs in AI-integrated release checklists from recurring UAT findings to near-zero on final promote.
- Drove API development and performance optimization for payment, exchange, and AI services; fail-closed error handling and payload validation reduced integration rework cycles by ~35% vs. the first AI integration pass.
- Applied software testing, testing frameworks, code quality assurance, and code refactoring with continuous integration gates; first-pass PR acceptance improved across the team and production hotfixes on AI adapters dropped noticeably after review standards landed.
- Owned DevOps practices: Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins-compatible pipelines, and version control workflows — cut deployment time ~50% vs. pre-automation baseline and stabilized releases across 3 client environments.
- Implemented verifier/oracle-style pass-fail checks in container sandboxes (Harbor/Terminal-Bench aligned); wrote technical documentation so failures cleared in one review cycle.
- Led cross-functional collaboration with product and client stakeholders; translated AI evaluation scores and risk findings into plain-language briefs for non-technical partners, unblocking go/no-go decisions without extra engineering meetings.
- Used agile methodologies for sprint planning and backlog ownership; mentored engineers so mid-level contributors owned AI adapter modules independently by mid-engagement.

AI Researcher & LLM Evaluation – Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) at Private
Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) – AI Evaluation & LLM Research
Development of an experimental evaluation approach to examine “paradigmatic closure” in Large Language Models — that is, the question of how far LLMs can recognize the basic assumptions, values, and limits of the paradigms within which they generate answers.
Design and testing of an additional approach to classic AI benchmarks that does not primarily measure factual correctness or task performance, but instead examines a model’s ability to recognize alternative perspectives, make implicit assumptions visible, and reflect on the limits of its own answer or interpretation framework.
Focus areas: development of evaluation criteria and test questions · LLM evaluation and comparative model analysis · prompt and response analysis · qualitative classification of model answers · study of epistemic compression and value leakage · benchmark and literature research · development of structured assessment and analysis methods
As part of CPT, existing AI evaluation approaches and benchmarks were analyzed, and a minimalist test protocol was developed that classifies model answers by response patterns such as DIRECT, CLARIFY, PLURALIST, REFUSE, and META-AWARE. TruthfulQA was used as the basis for experimental application and comparison with existing reference answers.

About the role
What they do
An AI trainer prepares models to perform better on real tasks. The work can include data labeling, prompt testing, conversation review, output grading, and feedback design for human-in-the-loop workflows. In some projects, the AI trainer also helps define the rules that guide how the model should learn from examples.
Typical outputs
- Clean labeled datasets and review guidelines
- Prompt sets for testing model behavior
- Quality checks for generated text, images, or classification results
- Error logs and improvement notes for model teams
- Training material for internal reviewers and annotators
Core skills
Strong AI trainers are precise, structured, and fast to align with subject matter experts. They know how to spot bad labels, unclear edge cases, and inconsistent model behavior. Many also work with Python, spreadsheet tools, annotation platforms, and large language model workflows.
- Clear judgment on quality and ambiguity
- Careful documentation of rules and exceptions
- Experience with NLP, computer vision, or conversational AI
- Comfort working with product, research, or operations teams
When to hire one
Companies bring in AI trainers when a model needs better outputs, cleaner training data, or more reliable review processes. Freelance support is useful for short-term builds, new datasets, model fine-tuning rounds, and launch preparation. It also fits teams that need extra capacity without hiring a permanent specialist.
What strong freelancers bring
A good AI trainer does more than label data. They understand the goal behind the model, can work through unclear cases, and keep decisions consistent across the project. They also know when to escalate issues, which is essential when outputs affect customer support, search, moderation, or other high-stakes use cases.
Germany projects
In Germany, AI trainers are often hired by software teams, industrial companies, agencies, and startups working on German-language models or local workflows. Projects may need on-site workshops, but remote collaboration is common when the task is clearly defined and the review process is set up well.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about AI Trainers.
An AI trainer helps improve how a model learns and responds. That usually means labeling data, checking outputs, rating answers, and refining guidelines so the model behaves more consistently. In many projects, the work also includes reviewing edge cases and feeding that insight back to the product or research team.
The best AI trainers combine careful judgment with strong process discipline. They need to understand labeling rules, quality review, and the basics of how models learn from examples. For more technical projects, comfort with Python, annotation tools, or LLM evaluation workflows is a real advantage.
No. A machine learning engineer builds and deploys models, while a machine learning trainer or AI trainer focuses on the training data, evaluation, and feedback loop. The roles can work closely together, but the core responsibility is different.
A freelancer makes sense when the work is project-based, urgent, or tied to a specific model release. This is common when you need help with a new dataset, a language-specific review cycle, or a temporary quality push. It is also a good option when you need expert input before deciding on a longer-term setup.
Ask for outputs you can review and reuse, not just completed tasks. Good deliverables include labeling guidelines, reviewed examples, quality reports, error categories, and clear notes on edge cases. If the project is iterative, ask for a workflow that makes future reviews easier as well.
Yes, most AI trainers can work remotely if the task is well defined and the review process is in place. For German clients, remote work often suits language-focused projects, while on-site sessions can help when teams need fast alignment on rules or sensitive data. The key is a clear handoff and a reliable feedback loop.
Look for consistency, clear reasoning, and the ability to handle ambiguous cases. A strong AI trainer explains why a label or rating is correct, follows guidelines closely, and spots issues in the instructions themselves. Sample work on real examples is usually the best way to assess fit.
A data annotator usually follows instructions to tag content, while an AI trainer is more involved in improving the process around the data. That can include refining guidelines, reviewing model outputs, and helping shape the feedback loop. On more advanced projects, the same person may do both, but the trainer role is broader.
The average hourly rate for AI Trainers in Germany is 85 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 683 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers working as AI Trainers in Germany, 94% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 67% hold at least a Master's degree, and 15% hold a doctorate.
