Last position:
Fullstack Developer at PLANT-MY-TREE
PLANT-MY-TREE®-per-order
The application enables Shopify merchants to automatically place tree-planting orders for every incoming order. By integrating ecological contributions directly into the purchase process, the manual effort for tracking and billing reforestation initiatives is eliminated. The system increases transparency for end customers through real-time visualizations of the ecological impact directly in the storefront. The architecture is based on a modular monolith with Spring Boot in the backend and an integrated React app inside the Shopify admin area. The solution uses webhooks to capture order data in an event-driven way and integrates the weclapp ERP system for automated monthly invoicing. An app proxy mechanism provides dynamic statistics such as CO2 compensation and planted trees without any performance loss for the merchant shop.
Tasks:
- Design of the modular software architecture based on Spring Modulith to ensure high maintainability
- Development of the event-driven business logic for evaluating Shopify orders via webhooks
- Implementation of automated invoicing by connecting the weclapp REST API
- Building the frontend using React Router and Shopify App Bridge for native integration

About the technology
What AI Agents do
AI Agents are software systems that interpret goals, choose actions and use tools to complete work with limited step-by-step instruction. They combine large language models with prompts, memory, retrieval, APIs and workflow logic. Companies use them for support automation, research, document handling and operational processes.
Typical applications
AI Agents can work inside customer-facing products or internal systems. Their value depends on clear boundaries, useful data and reliable control over the actions they can take.
- Automate service triage and response drafting
- Search policies, contracts and technical knowledge
- Coordinate tasks across CRM, ERP and ticketing tools
- Summarize meetings, cases and business documents
Ecosystem and tooling
Professionals work with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and open-source providers, selecting models for quality, latency, privacy and cost. Common building blocks include LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, vector databases, embeddings, Python, TypeScript and API gateways. Production systems also need observability, evaluation suites, permissions and secure secret handling.
When companies need specialists
Freelance expertise helps when a proof of concept must become a dependable product, or when an existing workflow produces inconsistent results. It is also useful when teams need to connect agents with private data, business software or regulated processes.
- The use case needs tool calling, retrieval or multi-step reasoning
- Responses must be tested against representative business data
- An agent needs controlled access to sensitive systems
- A prototype needs monitoring, fallbacks and deployment support
What strong professionals bring
Strong AI Agents professionals understand both model behavior and conventional software delivery. They define success criteria, design narrow agent roles and keep deterministic logic where it is safer than open-ended generation. They also build evaluations for accuracy, grounding, refusal behavior and tool-use reliability instead of relying on impressive demos.
Delivery and collaboration
An effective engagement starts with a well-defined workflow, available data and a clear action boundary. Düsseldorf-based teams may prefer on-site workshops for discovery, while remote collaboration works well for implementation when documentation and access are organized. Useful deliverables include architecture decisions, prompt and tool specifications, evaluation datasets, integration code, deployment documentation and operational runbooks.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about AI Agents? Start with the answers below.
AI Agents are used to interpret requests, retrieve information and perform actions across connected systems. Typical applications include customer support assistance, document analysis, internal knowledge search, sales operations and workflow coordination. The best use cases have clear goals, reliable data and limited permissions.
AI Agents can choose tools and sequence actions, while a traditional chatbot usually follows fixed dialogue paths. Conventional automation is more predictable for stable rules, whereas agentic systems are useful when inputs vary or a process requires interpretation. Many robust solutions combine both approaches.
A strong AI Agents specialist often brings Python or TypeScript, API integration, cloud deployment and data engineering skills. Knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation, vector databases, prompt evaluation, identity management and observability is also valuable. Experience with product design helps turn an agent into a usable business feature.
The required expertise depends on the risk and integration depth of the project. A simple internal prototype may need prompt design and workflow knowledge, while a customer-facing system requires evaluation, security, monitoring and failure handling. For production work, choose someone who can show how AI Agents behaved under realistic edge cases.
AI Agents projects are often well suited to remote collaboration because the work is largely based on code, model configuration, data and documented workflows. On-site sessions in Düsseldorf can still help with process discovery, stakeholder interviews and access planning. Agree on communication routines and data-handling rules before implementation.
Choose agentic AI when a process must handle varied language, select among tools or adapt to changing context. Choose a fixed workflow when the rules are stable and every outcome must be deterministic. A specialist should be able to explain where an agent adds value and where it creates unnecessary uncertainty.
Ask how the specialist defines success, tests outputs and limits tool access. A capable AI Agents professional will discuss representative evaluation cases, grounding, fallback behavior, logging and human review. They should also explain trade-offs between model quality, response time, privacy and operating cost.
A typical AI Agents engagement can include an architecture outline, agent and tool specifications, integration code, evaluation cases and deployment documentation. For a production system, request monitoring guidance, access controls, incident procedures and a clear handover. The deliverables should make future behavior understandable and maintainable.
