Agentic Automation and a RAG system
- This project involved extraction of intelligence data to support report writing for a company that provides geopolitical, global, commercial intelligence. The data have been gathered from a number of resources (interview transcripts, online data, internal documents), and then a knowledge base has been build from it. This was the basis of a complex RAG system, that was evaluated against a golden dataset. Agents have been used to find out the contradicting intelligence, the statements supporting each other, and to store back the generated knowledge.
Used: Python, RAG, LangGraph, LangChain, deepeval, MCP

Himanshu N.
Last position:
Principal (Data Scientist/Data Engineer/Gen AI Engineer) at Marktguru Deutschland GmbH
Architected an agentic, real-time offer orchestration engine where specialized agents (retrieval, pricing/optimization, and policy/guardrails) coordinate to personalise promotions across customer touchpoints using RAG with FAISS over Delta Lake and low-latency Databricks Model Serving. Collaborated with product managers and commercial stakeholders to shape the roadmap and evaluate emerging agent patterns for production.
Designed an agent-based data quality service that orchestrates schema detection, entity normalization, and validator/exception-handling agents to clean multi-retailer SKU feeds at scale. Wrapped model calls in PySpark UDFs for distributed inference, automated via Databricks Workflows and CI/CD.
Developed a multimodal, agentic extraction pipeline where vision, parsing, and compliance agents collaborate to derive brand, packaging, and volume from scanned images using Claude 3 Sonnet with Swin Transformer encoders. Orchestrated via Azure Event Hub with outputs persisted to Delta Lake.
Implemented a GS1 taxonomy classification service built around cooperating agents for inference, drift monitoring, and auto-retraining governance using Falcon 180B (LoRA-tuned) with a batch pipeline on Databricks.
Created a hybrid agent workflow where a retrieval agent surfaces candidate matches via embeddings and a reasoning/verification agent (Mixtral 8x7B) adjudicates receipt-to-SKU alignment, integrated into a streaming Databricks pipeline.
Built a multimodal attribute inference pipeline structured as cooperating vision-language, rules/consistency, and compliance agents to fill NutriScore, nutrition fields, and packaging types from names and images using LLaMA 3-8B with CLIP embeddings.
Developed a GenAI-powered orchestration system that ingests recipes from multiple websites, parses ingredients through structured extraction agents, and dynamically links them to real-time retailer offers via tagging, semantic reasoning, and business-rule agents.

About the role
What Generative AI Engineers Deliver
Modern engineering goes far beyond simple API calls to frontier foundation models. Freelance practitioners design, implement, and deploy production-grade software that incorporates large language models, vision transformers, and multimodal architectures into existing enterprise software landscapes.
Key project deliverables include:
- End-to-end Retrieval-Augmented Generation architectures with semantic search and re-ranking
- Autonomous agent frameworks utilizing tool calling and multi-step reasoning
- Efficient fine-tuning pipelines using techniques such as LoRA and QLoRA on domain datasets
- Robust LLMOps infrastructures for continuous evaluation, latency reduction, and observability
Core Technical Stack and Tooling
Engineers in this domain operate at the intersection of classical software engineering and applied machine learning. They use orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, and AutoGen to construct resilient pipelines, combined with vector databases including Qdrant, Milvus, Chroma, and Pinecone for contextual knowledge retrieval.
On the model level, these specialists optimize deployment using vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, and Hugging Face pipelines across modern cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, or on-premises GPU clusters.
Freelance Demand Across Munich
As one of Europe's premier industrial and technology hubs, Munich sees high demand for freelance AI developers across automotive, enterprise software, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. Organizations in the region actively transition internal prototypes into reliable, compliant systems.
Local initiatives frequently require bilingual data pipelines handling both German and English text, alongside strict adherence to enterprise data privacy and governance standards.
When to Bring in an External Specialist
Companies engage external generative AI developers when internal teams lack specialized experience in model evaluation, context window management, or local inference optimization. When internal roadmaps stall during the transition from a proof of concept to a high-concurrency production tool, an experienced contractor establishes the necessary evaluation benchmarks, caching strategies, and safety guardrails to ship on schedule.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about Generative AI Engineers.
A traditional machine learning engineer typically builds, trains, and evaluates supervised or unsupervised statistical models from scratch on structured datasets. A generative AI engineer focuses primarily on foundation models, specializing in techniques like context engineering, semantic search, parameter-efficient fine-tuning, and model alignment.
Evaluate candidates by their approach to systemic failure modes like hallucinations, model drift, and non-deterministic behavior. A seasoned LLM developer can show concrete evaluation frameworks using synthetic benchmarks, automated red-teaming setups, and defensive prompt injection architectures rather than just demonstrating basic chatbot prototypes.
Generative AI paradigms evolve on a monthly basis, making it difficult for in-house teams to maintain deep operational knowledge of every breakthrough. Bringing in a freelance GenAI specialist provides immediate access to hands-on architecture experience for high-impact phases like system design, model selection, and production rollout without long-term overhead.
Production systems generally rely on purpose-built vector stores such as Qdrant, Milvus, and Pinecone, or enterprise extensions like pgvector for PostgreSQL. A qualified generative AI developer also brings deep expertise in orchestration libraries like LlamaIndex and LangChain alongside asynchronous runtime environments.
Most Generative AI Engineers in Munich work on a remote or hybrid model. For sensitive project kickoffs, architecture sprints, or compliance-heavy data access requirements, freelance developers based in the greater Munich metropolitan area are readily available for regular on-site sessions.
Senior AI engineers mitigate privacy risks by deploying open-source models like Llama or Mistral on isolated, EU-hosted private infrastructure. They integrate robust data anonymization layers, disable external data persistence, and ensure auditability to align with enterprise security mandates and the EU AI Act.
While technical delivery, codebase development, and system documentation are standardly conducted in English, projects in Munich often involve processing German customer communications or internal documentation. A freelance generative AI consultant working in the local market is accustomed to configuring multilingual tokenizers, embeddings, and cross-lingual retrieval models.
An experienced generative AI contractor usually begins committing production-ready code within their first week. Because they regularly navigate modern continuous integration pipelines, containerized deployments, and cloud infrastructures, their onboarding overhead is minimal.
The average hourly rate for Generative AI Engineers in Munich is 105 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 839 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers working as Generative AI Engineers in Munich, 83% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 67% hold at least a Master's degree, and 50% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers working as Generative AI Engineers in Munich have 18 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.3 years.
