Last position:

Multi-Agent R&D Pipeline (3 Custom Agents) at Independent Project

  • Claude Code subagents, MCP, Pydantic V2, pytest, bandit

  • Designed and shipped 3 specialized agents that hand work down a line: a research agent writes a cited implementation spec, a coding agent builds the modular code and its tests, a review agent ranks findings by severity and applies the fixes. Each handoff is a structured document, so no stage depends on another agent's context window.

  • Connected the research agent to an academic-research MCP server (Semantic Scholar, ArXiv, Hugging Face Hub, citation snowballing) so every reference traces to a tool result rather than the model. Gated commits behind ruff, mypy, pytest and bandit, required human sign-off before installs and commits, and persisted session state on disk so long runs survive a context reset.

Freelance AI Systems & Platform Architect

Burglengenfeld
Maximilian B.

Last position:

Co-developer at Nikan AI Solutions GmbH

Multi-Agent Document-Generation Platform

Problem:

Turn a single prompt into a well-researched, structured and cited document, while keeping the user in control: every stage can be reviewed, corrected or revisited before the system moves on.

Architecture:

A multi-agent system orchestrated by a central controller. More than 20 specialised pydantic-ai subagents (understanding, structuring, planning, research, writing, assembly, cross-reference check, glossary, citation, reference table and more) pass results forward through a shared plan persisted in Postgres (asyncpg); a runner layer dispatches each task by name to its agent, and mechanical steps such as formatting, table of contents and list of figures are deterministic code instead of LLM calls. Provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) is a configuration setting, and responses stream over Server-Sent Events.

Hosting & Infrastructure:

Stateless container run as a Scaleway Serverless Container on a private network with managed PostgreSQL, object storage for finished documents and assets, and centralized log shipping (Loki / Scaleway Cockpit), provisioned with OpenTofu modules and deployed through GitLab CI; usage is metered per API key.

My Contribution & Key Decisions:

  • Central decision controller: a satisfaction classifier turns the user's free-text feedback into a verdict (keep working, advance, cancel or revise an earlier task), and a middleware applies it to the plan. Plan progression supports jumping back to earlier tasks and re-running the stages after them.
  • Research and writing fan-out: planning produces a plan from which a research-design agent generates individual research tasks and a writing-design agent generates individual writing tasks, each linked to the research it needs. Every task runs in its own dedicated agent with its own conversation history.
  • Self-review and human-in-the-loop: after each step a critical-thinking agent reviews the output; the user can accept, refine, or ask questions about a critique before the plan advances.
  • MCP integrations: two remote MCP servers, web search and internal document search, connected through pydantic-ai with retries and long-running tool-call timeouts. Classifier agents decide per task whether web search is needed, and a small model condenses raw search results into structured findings before they reach the writing agents.

Usage Metering:

Clients authenticate with an API key validated against a key-management service; consumption is charged in credits calculated from token usage per model plus a markup, and exhausted quota is answered with HTTP 429.

About the technology

What Data Science covers

Data Science combines statistics, programming, domain knowledge and machine learning to extract useful signals from structured and unstructured data. It supports forecasting, classification, experimentation, recommendation engines, fraud detection and operational decision-making. The work connects raw information with measurable business actions.

Typical deliverables

Data Science specialists turn a business question into a tested analytical solution. Common deliverables include:

  • Data exploration, quality checks and feature engineering
  • Forecasting and classification models
  • Recommendation and anomaly detection systems
  • Experiment design and impact analysis
  • Dashboards, model reports and decision tools

Ecosystem and tooling

Python is central to many DS projects, with pandas and NumPy for data preparation and scikit-learn for conventional machine learning. Teams may also use PyTorch or TensorFlow for deep learning, Jupyter for exploration, and SQL, Spark or cloud data warehouses for large-scale processing. Strong specialists understand how models move from notebooks into dependable services and pipelines.

When companies bring in specialists

Companies often need freelance expertise when internal teams have valuable data but lack a clear modelling path, or when a proof of concept must become a production capability. A specialist can assess data readiness, select a suitable method and create a practical handover. This is useful for new products, process optimisation, customer analytics and risk-sensitive decisions.

  • The organisation has data but no trusted analysis process
  • Forecasts or recommendations need measurable improvement
  • A machine learning prototype must reach production
  • Existing models need validation, monitoring or refinement

Skills that distinguish strong professionals

The best professionals do more than tune algorithms. They define the target carefully, test for leakage and bias, choose meaningful evaluation methods and explain uncertainty to non-specialists. They also consider privacy, reproducibility, monitoring and maintenance, so a model remains useful after launch. Clear documentation and collaboration with product, engineering and business teams matter as much as technical depth.

Collaboration and project fit

Data Science work can be remote when data access, documentation and stakeholder communication are well organised. On-site collaboration may help when specialists must understand operational processes, sensitive information or laboratory and production environments firsthand. Before engaging someone, clarify the decision to improve, available data, deployment expectations, ownership of notebooks and models, and how success will be evaluated.

Frequently asked questions

The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to Data Science.

Data Science is used to discover patterns, make forecasts and support decisions with data. Companies apply it to demand planning, customer segmentation, fraud detection, recommendations, quality control and many other problems where evidence can improve an outcome.

Data Science often includes predictive modelling, experimentation and machine learning, while data analytics usually focuses on explaining past and present performance. Business intelligence commonly centres on reports and dashboards. The boundaries overlap, so the right specialist depends on whether the project needs insight, prediction, automation or all three.

A strong Data Science freelancer may also bring SQL, Python, statistics, data visualisation and cloud data platform skills. For production work, experience with APIs, orchestration, version control, model monitoring and software testing is valuable. Domain knowledge can be just as important as the modelling method.

The right level for Data Science depends on data quality, business risk and delivery scope rather than a fixed tenure. Exploratory analysis may need a focused specialist, while regulated decisions or production machine learning require someone who can validate assumptions, manage uncertainty and operate models reliably.

Data Science can often be delivered remotely when secure access, clear documentation and responsive stakeholders are available. On-site work can help when the specialist must observe physical operations, understand sensitive workflows or collaborate closely with teams handling restricted data.

Evaluate whether the Data Science specialist can connect modelling choices to a business decision. Ask how they handle missing data, leakage, bias, validation, uncertainty and deployment. A credible professional explains trade-offs clearly and shows how results will be monitored after delivery.

Data Science should not default to the most complex algorithm. If a transparent rule, statistical model or well-designed experiment answers the question, it may be the better option. Machine learning is justified when it delivers useful predictive performance on representative data and the organisation can maintain it.

Before beginning a Data Science project, clarify the decision being supported, the available data, access restrictions, expected deliverables and acceptance criteria. Also agree on ownership, documentation, deployment responsibilities and who will act on the findings. These details prevent a promising analysis from becoming an unused prototype.

The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used Data Science in their recent projects is 95 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 763 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers who have used Data Science in their recent projects, 97% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 80% hold at least a Master's degree, and 22% hold a doctorate.

On average, freelancers who have used Data Science in their recent projects have 15 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.2 years.

The most common languages among freelancers who have used Data Science in their recent projects are English (98%), German (97%), and French (19%).
