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.
Oliver K.
Last position:
Founder & AI Automation Architect at Zerobits
Zerobits is my vehicle for AI-powered automation and custom software development with a clear principle: AI solutions that reach production, not pilot stage. I design and build the systems myself - from first concept and architecture through implementation to deployment and operations.
My focus is on replacing repetitive, manual work with reliable automation and connecting disconnected tools and data sources into one dependable overall system.
Selected work:
- Design and implementation of LLM-based agent systems and RAG pipelines (Anthropic Claude, Mistral, MongoDB Atlas Vector Search + RAG)
- Workflow orchestration for long-running, fault-tolerant business processes using Temporal (temporal.io): saga patterns, event-driven architecture, retry and compensation logic, connecting third-party APIs and internal services into automated end-to-end processes
- Full stack product development: SaaS architecture on Kubernetes, TypeScript/React/NestJS, admin tooling with refine.dev and MUI
- AI-assisted development workflow as standard practice to deliver production software at a fraction of traditional timelines
- Full stack product development: multi-tenant SaaS architecture running on Kubernetes, backend with NestJS/Node.js and Python, frontend with TypeScript, React and Next.js, admin tooling with refine.dev and MUI, CI/CD with GitHub Actions
One of these projects is a product I own and operate - free of any NDA restrictions. I'm happy to demonstrate it end to end.

About the technology
Modern Distributed Infrastructure
Cloud infrastructure provides scalable on-demand compute, managed storage, and distributed networking. Organizations leverage public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid environments to replace static data centers with elastic virtual resources that support dynamic workloads.
Hyperscaler Ecosystems and Tooling
- Amazon Web Services including compute instances, managed containers, and serverless runtimes
- Microsoft Azure enterprise integrations, identity management, and hybrid cloud fabrics
- Google Cloud Platform advanced analytics, managed Kubernetes clusters, and AI services
- Infrastructure as Code frameworks such as Terraform, OpenTofu, and cloud-native blueprints
Enterprise Cloud Migrations
Migrating enterprise workloads requires structured refactoring and workload rehosting. Specialists modernize monolithic legacy codebases into decoupled microservices, optimize networking latency, and establish container registries using orchestration tooling to ensure zero-downtime cutovers across production systems.
Platform Security and European Compliance
In Germany, organizations enforce strict compliance standards such as GDPR and C5 requirements. Cloud professionals configure zero-trust networking, granular IAM policies, client-side encryption keys, and localized data residency controls to ensure business continuity and regulatory alignment across German enterprise sectors.
Cloud Financial Operations and Reliability
Unmanaged cloud spend quickly degrades project budgets. External specialists implement FinOps practices to eliminate orphaned resources and right-size compute allocations. Concurrently, they set up comprehensive telemetry through OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and vendor monitoring suites to maintain high availability.
Core Competencies in Freelance Talent
- Hands-on mastery across multi-cloud configurations and continuous delivery pipelines
- Practical experience with site reliability engineering and disaster recovery drills
- Strong track record of running scalable Kubernetes deployments in sovereign zones
- Fluent coordination with cross-functional engineering teams in English and German
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to Cloud Computing.
Most German organizations deploy workloads across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Cloud computing initiatives in regulated sectors also frequently integrate sovereign European providers such as Hetzner, IONOS, or OVHcloud to address strict local compliance guidelines.
Traditional hosting depends on fixed, manually provisioned bare-metal hardware with rigid capacity boundaries. In contrast, modern cloud infrastructure supplies elastic resources on demand, automated via APIs and code definitions to dynamically scale with actual user traffic.
A qualified expert needs proficiency in cloud computing architectures along with deep knowledge of Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or Ansible. Strong expertise in Docker containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, networking, and system security is equally critical.
Specialists configure cloud solutions with localized data residency settings, ensuring customer data never leaves EU regions. They implement client-managed encryption keys, role-based access control, and continuous auditing to satisfy requirements like GDPR and BSI C5.
Bringing in an external professional is ideal when handling platform migrations, designing scalable hybrid architecture, or tackling cost overruns. A senior specialist in cloud computing accelerates delivery without burdening internal teams with extended learning curves.
Yes, nearly all modern cloud infrastructure tasks are conducted via remote automated workflows and version-controlled repositories. Some German enterprise clients prefer occasional on-site workshops during initial planning phases, but day-to-day execution operates seamlessly in remote arrangements.
Most software delivery teams operate in English due to international engineering standards and vendor tooling. However, enterprise environments in Germany often benefit from a specialist in cloud computing who can also review documentation and communicate architecture decisions in German.
Review verifiable production implementations rather than theoretical certifications alone. Top professionals in cloud computing demonstrate deep expertise in optimizing real-world latency, resolving complex networking edge cases, and constructing maintainable declarative pipelines.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Cloud Computing in their recent projects is 98 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 786 € based on an 8-hour working day.
