Founder at ProtocolEngine.io

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.

Stack: Next.js 16, TypeScript, Supabase, pgvector, Anthropic Claude, Vercel, DeepInfra.

About the technology

Containers for delivery

Docker packages an application with its runtime, libraries and configuration into a portable container image. Teams use it to keep development, testing and production environments consistent, whether they run web services, APIs, background workers or data-processing jobs. Containers start quickly and remain isolated from the host system.

Core ecosystem

The work usually spans Docker Engine, Docker CLI, Dockerfile and image registries. Docker Compose defines multi-container environments for local development and integration testing, while BuildKit improves build workflows and caching. Strong specialists also understand Linux, networking, storage, secrets and image security.

Where it fits

  • Package services and dependencies into reproducible images
  • Create local environments for databases, queues and APIs
  • Build test stages for continuous integration pipelines
  • Deploy container workloads to Kubernetes or cloud services
  • Standardize development across distributed teams

Docker can support a single service or a larger service-oriented system. Its value depends on clear image boundaries, controlled configuration and an operational model that matches the application.

When to hire expertise

Companies bring in freelance Docker specialists when builds are slow, environments differ, images are too large or deployments fail unpredictably. They can introduce container standards during a migration, modernize a delivery pipeline or prepare workloads for Kubernetes. Berlin teams may also benefit when on-site workshops need to connect product, infrastructure and security groups, while implementation can remain remote.

Skills that matter

A capable professional reads an application architecture before writing a Dockerfile. They choose appropriate base images, use multi-stage builds, handle non-root execution, define health checks and keep secrets outside images. They also know how container networking, volumes, logging and resource limits behave under real workloads.

Quality signals

  • Images are reproducible, minimal and traceable to their source
  • Compose files are clear, maintainable and safe for team use
  • CI pipelines scan, test and publish images in a controlled flow
  • Runtime configuration is separated from image content
  • Documentation explains local setup, deployment and recovery

Good Docker work makes operations easier rather than hiding complexity. The best experts explain trade-offs, test failure scenarios and leave behind conventions that other professionals can maintain. German and English communication may both matter for Berlin-based collaboration, depending on the team.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask us most about Docker — answered in short.

Docker is used to package applications and their dependencies into portable containers. Companies use it for local development, automated testing, continuous delivery and deployment across servers or cloud environments.

Docker containers share the host operating system kernel, while virtual machines include a complete guest operating system. Containers are often lighter and faster to start, but virtual machines can provide stronger isolation for some workloads.

Docker Compose is well suited to local development, testing and small multi-container environments. Kubernetes is designed for broader orchestration needs such as scheduling, scaling, service discovery and failure recovery across a cluster.

Docker work often connects with Linux, Git, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, container registries and application security. Networking, observability and infrastructure-as-code skills are also useful when containers move into production.

Docker project needs depend on scope rather than a fixed tenure requirement. A simple image and Compose setup may need focused delivery experience, while a migration or production platform calls for proven knowledge of security, networking, releases and operations.

Docker projects are often well suited to remote collaboration because configuration, images and pipelines can be reviewed in shared repositories. On-site sessions in Berlin can still help with architecture workshops, access constraints and coordination across teams.

Docker quality shows in reproducible builds, small and maintained images, secure defaults, useful health checks and clear documentation. Ask a specialist to explain image provenance, secret handling, failure recovery and how the setup behaves in CI and production.

Docker specialists should clarify the application stack, target runtime, registry, deployment environment and ownership of the delivery pipeline. They should also confirm security requirements, observability expectations, access arrangements and whether collaboration with a Berlin-based team requires German or English.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Berlin, Germany who have used Docker in their recent projects is 88 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 706 € based on an 8-hour working day.
