Evidence-led health intelligence platform turning published research into personal health protocols. It scores 430 habits, foods, and supplements against the studies behind them, and moves the score when the evidence moves. Built solo.

  • Built the daily ingestion pipeline across PubMed, bioRxiv, and medRxiv: 43,000+ papers from 3,400+ journals processed into 230,000+ typed evidence claims, each one traceable back to the study it came from.
  • Designed the six-factor evidence scoring model and the public changelog behind it, so no recommendation ever appears without the papers underneath it. 23,000+ grade changes recorded and explained to date.
  • Shipped an entity information model connecting every intervention to its mechanisms, biomarkers, and outcomes: 118 biomarkers with region-specific reference ranges, 77 mechanisms, 32 graded outcomes.
  • Built the personalisation layer: blood panel ingestion that reads lab PDFs with a vision model and corrects results for draw time against the user's wake anchor, plus Oura, WHOOP, and Withings integration for daily readiness context.
  • Operate eleven specialised review agents over the corpus and codebase, covering paper curation, retrieval quality, health-claim compliance across EU and US regimes, and security.
  • Shipped the Evidence Assistant, a RAG assistant that answers from the claim database and cites the underlying papers, plus a B2B practitioner tier, an Expo React Native app, and localisation across 3 languages and 7 markets.

  • 5 client engagements in real estate and finance since 05/2025: taking over and stabilising existing reporting, automating recurring standard and management reports, building cash-flow models

  • Proposal and feasibility assessments for BI and reporting projects

  • Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development

  • Custom ERP system

  • Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.

  • Approach: Captured the business processes and requirements, modelled the data and developed iteratively together with the business team.

  • Implementation: Built a tailored, web-based ERP system with a central database, role-based modules and automated reporting – delivered using AI-assisted development in Claude Code.

  • Timesheet app

  • Starting point: Time tracking based on an overgrown, macro-heavy Excel template – maintenance-intensive, single-user and error-prone.

  • Implementation: Migrated all functionality and VBA macros into a standalone web app with central data storage, multi-user support and automated reporting.

  • Cash-flow modelling

  • Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.

  • Implementation: Built and extended the CF model to include project-development cash flows.

  • Optimisation: Reviewed and optimised existing CF models and expanded the KPI outputs for reporting and steering.

About the technology

What DAX is

DAX, short for Data Analysis Expressions, is the formula language behind calculations in Microsoft Power BI, Power Pivot and SQL Server Analysis Services. It evaluates measures, calculated columns and calculated tables in a tabular data model. Unlike a simple spreadsheet formula, DAX works with filter context, row context and relationships between tables.

What it builds

DAX turns structured business data into reusable analytical logic. Companies use it for financial reporting, sales analysis, workforce planning, supply chain views and operational dashboards.

  • Measures for revenue, margin, targets and variances
  • Time intelligence for periods, trends and comparisons
  • Dynamic segmentation and ranking
  • KPI logic for interactive Power BI reports

Ecosystem and tooling

DAX specialists usually work across the Microsoft analytics stack. Their toolkit may include Power BI Desktop and Service, Tabular Editor, DAX Studio, SQL Server Data Tools, Excel Power Pivot and Analysis Services.

They also need to understand Power Query and M, SQL, star schemas, data gateways, deployment pipelines and workspace security. DAX Studio and server timings help them inspect queries and locate expensive calculations.

When companies need support

External expertise is useful when a model has grown difficult to maintain, reports return inconsistent figures or refreshes take too long. It also helps when an analytics team is moving from Excel reporting to governed Power BI models.

  • Existing measures need review or refactoring
  • A tabular model needs performance tuning
  • Business definitions must become consistent calculations
  • A reporting solution needs documentation and handover

Germany project context

Companies in Germany use DAX in reporting environments across manufacturing, retail, logistics, finance and professional services. Projects may involve German business terminology, distributed stakeholders and strict expectations for traceable calculations.

Remote collaboration works well when requirements, model ownership and review routines are clear. On-site workshops can help with discovery, while secure access, documentation and regular demos keep delivery practical across locations.

What strong experts deliver

Strong DAX professionals begin with the business definition, then validate the data model before writing formulas. They distinguish row context from filter context, use variables and readable naming, and avoid hiding poor modeling behind complex expressions.

They test totals and edge cases, compare results with trusted source data and measure query performance. They can explain why a calculation works, document assumptions and leave a model that other specialists can safely extend.

Frequently asked questions

Curious about DAX? Here are the answers that come up again and again.

DAX is used to create measures, calculated columns and calculated tables in Power BI, Power Pivot and tabular Analysis Services models. It supports business calculations such as margins, forecasts, period comparisons, rankings and target tracking.

Data Analysis Expressions is designed for calculations inside a tabular semantic model, while SQL is mainly used to retrieve and transform data. Excel formulas usually evaluate cell ranges, whereas DAX evaluates relationships and filter context across tables.

A strong DAX specialist should understand dimensional modeling, Power Query and M, SQL, Power BI deployment and data security. Experience with Tabular Editor, DAX Studio, gateways and Analysis Services is also useful for larger models.

The right level depends on the scope, not simply on the formula count. A focused measure review may need a specialist who can quickly diagnose context problems, while a new enterprise model calls for expertise in architecture, governance, performance and stakeholder workshops.

DAX work is often suitable for remote collaboration because models, requirements and review sessions can be shared securely. On-site sessions may still help when German-speaking stakeholders need workshops about definitions, reporting ownership or data quality.

DAX fits well when a company needs interactive analysis on a Power BI or tabular model with reusable business logic. A different approach may be better when calculations belong in an upstream data warehouse, when real-time processing is central or when the reporting tool is outside the Microsoft ecosystem.

Ask for clear model documentation, test cases and an explanation of filter context. Quality DAX work produces correct totals, performs efficiently at realistic data volumes and remains understandable when another specialist reviews or changes it.

A DAX freelancer should clarify the source systems, model structure, business definitions, refresh method, security rules and expected report behavior. They should also confirm access, review contacts, documentation standards and whether the task covers formulas only or the wider Power BI model.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used DAX in their recent projects is 95 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 759 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers in Germany who have used DAX in their recent projects, 97% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 71% hold at least a Master's degree, and 9% hold a doctorate.
