Last position:
Platform Architect (Project lead) at Würth IT
I designed and built a self-service AWS platform for Data Science teams with little or no infrastructure-as-code experience. A team writes about 10 lines of Python and gets a deployable stack with full SDLC release cycle that already follows the governance rules. Networking, encryption, IAM and tagging are decided by the platform, not by each team.
New teams or AWS accounts are onboarded with one pull request. Waste prevention and cost control is built into the defaults: Data scientists don't need infrastructure skills.
- Construct library (AWS CDK, Python). Built a versioned catalog of about 20 hardened constructs for being used in data-science projects with ML context
- Governance as code
- Multi-account, multi-tenant
- Golden-path scaffolding
- CI/CD and supply chain. Built reusable GitHub Actions workflows
- Release engineering
- QA with e2e, contract testing and unit test coverage with each release candidate

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.

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.

Agentic Automation and a RAG system
- This project involved extraction of intelligence data to support report writing for a company that provides geopolitical, global, commercial intelligence. The data have been gathered from a number of resources (interview transcripts, online data, internal documents), and then a knowledge base has been build from it. This was the basis of a complex RAG system, that was evaluated against a golden dataset. Agents have been used to find out the contradicting intelligence, the statements supporting each other, and to store back the generated knowledge.

Prioritisation, Sequencing and Operating Model
a-connect client, Fortune 500 life sciences and agriculture group
- Consolidated competing business needs across five businesses into one prioritised agenda: assessed 1,000+ services against value, readiness and feasibility, weighed options, trade-offs and dependencies, and recommended the sequence of work, including what had to be redesigned or stopped before anything moved. Published case study.
- Aligned business, technology and data stakeholders on priorities and decisions across five businesses with separate leadership, P&Ls and competing agendas, onto one roadmap and six shared decision principles, without formal authority over any of them.
- Translated business intent into delivery-ready requirements and readiness standards that engineering, data and architecture teams could act on, with gates that stopped anything reaching production before the process, data and accountability behind it were fit.
- Established the sustainable prioritisation and progress-tracking approach the organisation still runs: service ownership, decision rights, escalation routes, governance forums and measurement, converted into a repeatable method that later teams operate without the author in the room.

About the technology
What Data Science covers
Data Science combines statistics, programming, domain knowledge and machine learning to extract useful decisions from structured and unstructured data. It supports forecasting, classification, optimisation, experimentation and natural language analysis. The work connects raw information with measurable business outcomes.
What it builds
Companies use Data Science to create analytical products and automated decision support across many domains:
- Demand forecasts and predictive maintenance models
- Recommendation, search and personalisation systems
- Fraud detection, risk scoring and anomaly monitoring
- Customer segmentation and churn analysis
- Natural language and document processing workflows
Tools and ecosystem
Python is common for analysis and modelling, with pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch and TensorFlow supporting different stages of delivery. Strong practice also includes SQL, notebooks, Git, APIs and data visualisation with tools such as Power BI or Tableau. Cloud services, containers, orchestration and experiment tracking matter when models move into production.
When expertise matters
Freelance specialists are useful when a company has valuable data but lacks a clear modelling approach, production capacity or independent validation. They can shape a reliable pipeline, test whether a model adds value and transfer working methods to an internal team. In Germany, projects may also benefit from professionals who can collaborate in German and English across remote or on-site teams.
Signs you need a specialist
A focused engagement often makes sense when teams face unclear data quality, slow manual analysis or models that never reach users:
- Business questions are not translated into measurable targets
- Data pipelines are fragile, undocumented or difficult to monitor
- Prototypes perform well in testing but fail in daily operations
- Stakeholders need clear explanations of model outputs
What strong professionals deliver
Strong Data Science experts connect technical choices to the decision the system must support. They define suitable evaluation methods, challenge leakage and bias, document assumptions and communicate uncertainty without hiding it. They also understand deployment, monitoring, retraining and governance, so a model remains useful after handover rather than stopping at a promising notebook.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Data Science? Start with the answers below.
Data Science helps companies forecast demand, detect unusual activity, personalise experiences and automate decisions from data. It can also support research, pricing, maintenance planning and text or image analysis when the underlying data and business question are suitable.
Data Science often focuses on prediction, experimentation and automated decisions, while business intelligence usually explains what has already happened through reports and dashboards. The two practices overlap, and a strong project may use BI for monitoring alongside machine learning for forward-looking analysis.
A capable Data Science expert often works with SQL, data modelling, statistics, software engineering and cloud infrastructure. Experience with APIs, visualisation, MLOps, domain research and responsible AI can also be important when a model must operate reliably in a live product.
The right Data Science experience depends on the scope, data maturity and consequences of the decision being supported. A focused analysis may need a short, clearly defined engagement, while production models require proven skills in validation, deployment, monitoring and stakeholder communication.
Data Science is often suitable for remote collaboration because code, datasets and documentation can be shared securely. On-site work may help when experts need close access to operational teams, sensitive environments or domain knowledge, while German and English language skills can support different stakeholder groups in Germany.
Ask a Data Science freelancer to explain how they frame the business problem, check data quality, select a baseline and evaluate errors. Look for clear reasoning about leakage, bias, uncertainty and deployment rather than a presentation focused only on model complexity.
A Data Science approach should earn its complexity through better decisions, useful automation or materially improved forecasts. If a transparent rule, SQL query or statistical method performs adequately and is easier to maintain, it may be the better choice.
A well-scoped Data Science engagement can include a problem definition, data assessment, reproducible analysis, model evaluation and documented recommendations. If the result is intended for production, agree on deployment interfaces, monitoring, ownership, retraining triggers and a clear handover.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany 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.
