Last position:
Developer at agentic-engineer.online
agentic-engineer.online is my publicly testable live demo and at the same time the platform where I show my work. Originally created as a recruitment trial task, I have since continued to run it as my own demo, learning, and product project — on a Hetzner VPS behind a Cloudflare tunnel, through a multi-stage AI-orchestrated deploy pipeline with snapshot rollback. If a deploy step breaks, the system falls back to the last clean snapshot, the script is adjusted, the test repeated — empirical, test-driven, without hand tuning.
- Technically behind it: Python and FastAPI, an OpenRouter model cascade, SQLite persistence, and Cloudflare edge tuning.
- I am the developer and the strictest customer of my own AI work in one person — what started as a prototype has become a tool I use every day and against which I test my own products.

Last position:
Senior Software Engineer — AI Evaluation & Benchmarks at Diversido

- 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.

About the technology
What CSV is
CSV, short for Comma-Separated Values, is a plain-text format for storing tabular data. Each row represents a record, while delimiters separate fields. Although commas are common, files may also use semicolons, tabs or other separators depending on regional settings and the source system.
Where it is used
CSV is widely used to exchange structured data between applications, databases and business teams. Typical work includes:
- Importing customer, product and transaction records
- Exporting data from business software and databases
- Feeding reporting, analytics and machine learning workflows
- Moving data between systems during migrations
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong CSV specialists work across spreadsheets, SQL databases, ETL tools and programming environments such as Python, Java, JavaScript and R. They understand libraries for parsing and writing files, command-line processing, cloud storage and integration tools. Familiarity with UTF-8, quoting, escaping and schema definitions is essential.
Why companies need specialists
CSV files appear simple but often hide inconsistent headers, mixed data types, duplicate records, broken line endings and encoding problems. Freelance experts help teams design dependable imports and exports, diagnose failed transfers and turn manual file handling into repeatable processes. They are especially useful during migrations, system integrations and reporting changes.
Reliable data delivery
A capable professional checks delimiters, column order, character encoding, date formats, decimal separators and empty values before data reaches its destination. They define validation rules, preserve leading zeros where needed and test files against real source and target systems. Clear documentation makes the workflow easier to maintain after handover.
Choosing the right expert
Look for evidence of work with the systems surrounding the file, not only spreadsheet editing. Useful signals include robust parsing logic, automated validation, reproducible transformations and careful handling of large or irregular datasets. Discuss sample files, privacy constraints, expected outputs and failure handling before the engagement begins. Remote collaboration works well when file schemas, test cases and acceptance criteria are documented clearly.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about CSV.
CSV is commonly used to exchange tabular data between spreadsheets, databases, CRM systems, ecommerce tools and reporting software. Companies rely on it for imports, exports, migrations, scheduled transfers and simple data handoffs.
CSV is simpler and broadly supported, but it does not natively preserve formulas, formatting, multiple sheets or data types. Excel is better for spreadsheet-based work, while JSON is usually more suitable for nested data and web APIs.
A strong CSV specialist often works with SQL, spreadsheets, Python or another scripting language, ETL processes and API integrations. Knowledge of databases, character encoding, data validation and cloud storage is also valuable.
The right level for CSV work depends on the scope and risk of the workflow. A simple export may need practical file-handling skills, while migrations and automated pipelines call for deeper experience with schemas, validation, error recovery and the connected systems.
Yes, CSV work is often well suited to remote collaboration because files, schemas, scripts and test results can be shared securely. Teams should define access rules, sample inputs, expected outputs and communication routines, especially when specialists work across different time zones or languages.
Review whether the CSV solution handles delimiters, quoting, encoding, line endings, missing values and inconsistent records correctly. Ask for validation rules, automated tests, clear logs and documentation explaining how failures are detected and resolved.
Bring in a CSV freelancer when imports fail, manual cleanup consumes too much time, systems use conflicting schemas or a migration needs controlled validation. A specialist can also improve an existing workflow before it becomes a recurring source of data errors.
Before starting with CSV, clarify the delimiter, encoding, quoting rules, header structure, expected data types and destination system. Also confirm file volumes, privacy requirements, error handling, delivery format and who will approve the transformed data.
The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used CSV in their recent projects is 94 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 752 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers who have used CSV in their recent projects, 84% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 45% hold at least a Master's degree, and 4% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers who have used CSV in their recent projects have 19 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 1.6 years.
The most common languages among freelancers who have used CSV in their recent projects are English (97%), German (96%), and Spanish (12%).
