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.

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.

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.
Used: Python, RAG, LangGraph, LangChain, deepeval, MCP

About the technology
What LoRA does
LoRA, short for Low-Rank Adaptation, adapts a pretrained language or diffusion model without updating all of its original weights. It adds small trainable matrices to selected layers, reducing the storage and compute needed for task-specific tuning. The result is a reusable adapter that can be loaded alongside the base model.
Where it is used
LoRA is useful when a company needs a model to follow a domain style, understand internal terminology, or perform a focused task. It supports text, image and multimodal workflows, from support assistants to controlled image generation.
- Domain-specific language model adaptation
- Instruction and conversational tuning
- Style or concept adaptation for image models
- Lightweight experiments across several model variants
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong LoRA work connects model training with the surrounding machine learning stack. Common tools include Hugging Face Transformers, PEFT, Accelerate and bitsandbytes, alongside PyTorch, experiment tracking and model repositories. Professionals may also work with QLoRA, quantized base models, distributed training and inference endpoints.
When companies need specialists
Companies often bring in freelance expertise when a proof of concept must become a reliable model workflow, or when internal teams lack focused fine-tuning capacity. Germany-based teams may benefit from professionals who can work remotely across time zones or join on-site sessions, and who document decisions clearly for multilingual stakeholders.
- Selecting layers, rank and training strategy
- Cleaning datasets and defining evaluation sets
- Packaging, versioning and serving adapters
- Comparing adapter quality against prompting or full tuning
What good delivery includes
A capable LoRA professional starts with a clear objective and a suitable base model rather than treating adapter training as a universal shortcut. They control data leakage, overfitting, prompt formats and reproducibility, then measure results on representative examples. They also explain trade-offs between adapter size, training cost, latency and output quality.
Skills beyond adapter training
LoRA projects usually need adjacent expertise in Python, PyTorch, GPU environments, data engineering and model evaluation. Production work may include API design, containerization, access controls, observability and rollback plans. For image workflows, knowledge of diffusion pipelines, conditioning and safety review is equally important.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about LoRA.
LoRA is used to adapt a pretrained model to a focused domain, behavior, format or visual style. It is common in language assistants, document classification, structured generation and image customization, where a full model retraining would be unnecessary.
Low-Rank Adaptation changes a small set of added parameters, while full fine-tuning updates the base model and usually demands more compute and storage. Prompt engineering changes how a model is instructed without training it, so LoRA can offer more consistent behavior when prompts alone are not enough.
A strong LoRA specialist usually also understands Python, PyTorch, dataset preparation and evaluation design. Experience with Hugging Face Transformers, PEFT, quantization, GPU operations and production inference is valuable when the adapter must move beyond experimentation.
LoRA work can be appropriate for a focused proof of concept or a production adaptation, but the required depth depends on the risk and complexity of the use case. Ask for evidence of comparable model, data and deployment work rather than relying on a generic training background.
Low-Rank Adaptation projects are often well suited to remote collaboration because datasets, experiment logs and model artifacts can be shared through controlled environments. On-site workshops in Germany can still help with requirements, data access and approval processes when several business teams are involved.
LoRA is widely used with diffusion models for adapting visual styles, subjects and concepts, as well as with language models. The training data, target modules and evaluation methods differ, so the specialist should have experience with the specific model family involved.
Look for a LoRA professional who can explain dataset quality, adapter configuration, validation and deployment in concrete terms. Ask how they detect overfitting, test outputs against a baseline and document the relationship between the adapter and its base model.
LoRA can overfit a narrow dataset, reproduce unwanted patterns or appear effective only on familiar prompts. Other risks include choosing an unsuitable base model, weak evaluation data, incompatible quantization and unclear versioning between the adapter, tokenizer and inference setup.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used LoRA in their recent projects is 86 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 685 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used LoRA in their recent projects, 100% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 82% hold at least a Master's degree, and 25% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used LoRA in their recent projects have 12 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 1.6 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used LoRA in their recent projects are English (100%), German (97%), and French (13%).
