Last position:
Development of an AI-supported system for lead generation
As part of an in-house development project, a pipeline for automated lead generation was created as the second stage of a preceding system for project monitoring. Based on a list of freelance project URLs (freelancermap), qualified lead records are generated, including company, contact person, official and personal email address, and the appropriate form of address (informal/formal). The technologies used were Python (openpyxl, requests) as well as an LLM agent workflow in VS Code (GitHub Copilot Chat) with a custom slash command and extensive rule set; search APIs (Serper.dev) are connected for research. My tasks included the full concept and development. The core is a rule set of around 480 lines that guides the LLM agent deterministically through extraction, website and email lookup, duplicate matching (against existing provider lists), and the creation of a structured JSON output. Deterministic steps (Excel matching, web/email search, pattern derivation) were moved into Python helper scripts. Other requirements included validating the results through versioned blind runs against a reference, iterative refinement of the rule set, and a swappable search provider layer for cost and stability reasons.

About the technology
What BFSG covers
BFSG is the short name for the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz. It sets the accessibility rules many digital products must meet in Germany. Strong professionals help companies turn legal text into clear product work.
Where experts help
- website and app accessibility reviews
- checkout, forms, and customer journey fixes
- accessible PDFs, labels, and support content
- design and content handoff for teams
Skills that matter
Good specialists work across UX, content, front-end, QA, and legal review. They understand WCAG, semantic structure, keyboard use, contrast, focus order, and screen reader behavior. They also know how to document issues in a way product teams can act on.
When companies bring help
Companies usually need freelance expertise when they face a new audit, a redesign, a platform change, or a deadline to close gaps. BFSG work is often cross-team, so outside specialists help move faster and keep decisions consistent. In Germany, they may also align local stakeholders around the same compliance scope.
What strong work looks like
Strong professionals do more than point out problems. They sort issues by user impact, explain the fix in plain language, and check that changes still work after release. They also know the difference between a quick patch and a durable accessibility process.
Common tools and outputs
BFSG work often uses browser inspection tools, screen readers, design systems, issue trackers, and accessibility checklists. Typical deliverables include audit notes, remediation backlogs, test findings, content guidance, and handover documents. The best experts leave teams with a clear path, not just a list of defects.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about BFSG.
BFSG stands for the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz. In practice, it is used to guide accessibility work for websites, apps, self-service flows, and other digital services sold or offered in Germany. Companies bring in specialists to turn those requirements into concrete product changes.
BFSG is Germany’s law, while the European Accessibility Act is the wider EU framework behind it. They are closely linked, so teams often work with both in mind. A strong expert can explain where the German requirements fit into the broader accessibility picture.
Ask whether the expert has worked on audits, remediation, and release support, not just theoretical compliance. For BFSG, the best fit usually understands product design, content, and testing, so they can work with your team end to end. Also check whether they can document fixes clearly for stakeholders and delivery teams.
A strong BFSG specialist often brings knowledge of WCAG, semantic HTML, accessible content, UX review, and QA. Depending on the project, they may also work with design systems, legal review, and front-end implementation. That mix matters because accessibility issues often cross several parts of the product.
It depends on scope, but BFSG work is rarely a one-person checklist task. Small fixes may only need focused review, while a bigger product change benefits from someone who has handled audits and team handoff before. The safer choice is an expert who can both find issues and help close them.
Yes. BFSG work is often done remotely because audits, issue triage, and documentation can be reviewed online. On-site time can still help during workshops, stakeholder alignment, or complex user testing, especially when several teams need to agree on next steps.
Look for clear examples of how the expert found issues, prioritized them, and helped a team fix them. A good BFSG professional speaks in user terms, not only legal terms, and can explain why a problem matters for keyboard users or screen reader users. You want someone who improves both compliance and product quality.
General accessibility work can be broad, while BFSG work is tied to a specific German legal framework and its product implications. That means the best specialist understands both the law and the delivery realities of websites, apps, and content. If you need a clear compliance path in Germany, that focus matters.
