Ole Himmel
Last position:
Interim Head of PMO at RAILPOOL GmbH
Due to the steady growth of the customer organization and the associated increase in the number of projects in a wide range of areas, including IT/digitalization, sales and organizational development, and controlling, the demands on the projects are increasing. Projects are often started but not implemented within the planned time frame, resources are not clearly assigned, and the business value is not clearly demonstrated. The goal of the assignment as Interim Head of PMO is to further develop and embed an existing project organization from the CDO area at management level. It is important that the governance is pragmatic, easy to understand, and simple to apply in daily project work. The tasks and roles are to be defined, embedded in the organization, and this strategic PMO is also to be supported by an IT solution. This solution is to be selected and introduced. In addition, all ongoing projects are to be gradually transferred into PMO governance and project control is to be centralized.

About the technology
What AI covers
Artificial Intelligence is the field behind systems that learn from data, recognize patterns, and support decisions. Companies use it to automate text work, classify images, detect anomalies, and power assistants that answer questions or route requests. Strong specialists focus on the business task first, then choose the right model and setup.
Common project types
- Chat assistants for support, sales, or internal knowledge
- Document extraction and text classification
- Forecasting, ranking, and recommendation features
- Image, audio, or sensor analysis
- Workflow automation around existing tools and data
Tooling and stack
AI work often combines Python, model libraries, vector databases, cloud services, and data pipelines. Specialists may also work with LLMs, prompt design, evaluation methods, and deployment tools that keep models stable in production. Good professionals know when to use a ready-made API and when a custom model is the better fit.
When companies bring help
Companies usually look for freelance AI expertise when an idea needs to move from experiment to working system. That includes cleaning data, testing model quality, integrating with internal software, and hardening performance, privacy, and monitoring. In Leipzig, this often fits teams that want remote delivery but still need clear communication for workshops or local coordination.
What strong specialists deliver
- A clear use case and measurable success criteria
- Data preparation and feature selection
- Model choice, training, and evaluation
- Production integration and monitoring
- Practical guidance for users and stakeholders
Skills that matter
Strong AI professionals understand statistics, software delivery, and the limits of model output. They can explain trade-offs, spot weak data, and reduce false confidence. The best experts keep solutions simple, document decisions, and make sure the system can be maintained after launch.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence is used to automate tasks that depend on pattern recognition, language understanding, prediction, or classification. Common work includes chat support, document processing, search, recommendations, and anomaly detection. The best specialists tie the system to a clear business process, not just a model demo.
Artificial Intelligence is the broader field. Machine learning is one way to build AI systems, while generative AI focuses on creating text, images, code, or other content. Companies often need a freelancer who understands all three so the solution fits the task and not just the trend.
A strong Artificial Intelligence specialist usually also knows data handling, Python, APIs, cloud services, and testing. For production work, MLOps, security, and monitoring matter as well. If the project uses LLMs, prompt design and evaluation skills are important too.
For Artificial Intelligence, you do not need a full technical design before you start. You should know the goal, the data you have, the users, and the risks. A good specialist can turn that into a practical scope and explain what is realistic.
Many Artificial Intelligence projects can run remotely, especially model work, testing, and integration. On-site time helps when teams need access to internal systems, sensitive data, or workshop sessions with business users. In Leipzig, hybrid collaboration is often the practical choice for those cases.
Look for evidence that the Artificial Intelligence specialist has shipped usable systems, not only notebooks or prototypes. Ask how they handled data quality, evaluation, edge cases, and fallback behavior. Clear explanations and honest trade-offs are a strong sign of quality.
A Artificial Intelligence freelancer should help you choose between a ready-made API, a fine-tuned model, or a fully custom approach. APIs are faster to launch, while custom work can better fit unique data or strict control needs. The right answer depends on the task, data, and maintenance effort.
Yes. Artificial Intelligence is often added to CRM, ERP, service desks, search tools, and document systems through APIs and data pipelines. Good specialists focus on safe integration, reliable output, and a clean handoff to the teams that will maintain it.
