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.

About the technology

What Machine Learning does

Machine Learning enables software to learn patterns from data and use them to make predictions, classifications or recommendations. Companies use it for demand forecasting, fraud detection, search, personalization, quality inspection and intelligent automation. The work spans experimentation, model development and dependable production systems.

Core project work

Machine Learning specialists turn a business question into a measurable modelling task. They prepare data, select suitable methods, train models and validate results against real operating conditions.

  • Define target variables, features and evaluation criteria
  • Build forecasting, ranking, classification or recommendation models
  • Develop computer vision and natural language processing solutions
  • Package models for use in applications and business workflows

Ecosystem and tooling

The ecosystem commonly includes Python, scikit-learn, pandas and NumPy, with PyTorch or TensorFlow for deep learning. Strong professionals also work with notebooks, SQL, Spark, Docker and cloud services, then connect models to APIs, data warehouses and existing software. MLOps tooling supports versioning, deployment, monitoring and reproducible training.

When to hire freelance expertise

Companies often bring in a freelancer when internal teams have valuable data but lack specialised modelling capacity. External expertise can help validate a use case, recover a delayed proof of concept, improve model performance or establish a production process. In Berlin, remote collaboration is common, while workshops and stakeholder sessions may still benefit from local availability.

  • A prototype has no clear path to production
  • Data quality, leakage or bias is affecting results
  • Models need monitoring, retraining or governance
  • Product teams need help translating predictions into user value

Signs of strong professionals

Look for specialists who explain assumptions, baselines and trade-offs in business terms. They should show how data was collected, how validation reflects real usage and how errors affect different users. Practical quality also means clean experiments, documented pipelines, reproducible results and a clear plan for deployment and maintenance.

Delivery and collaboration

A well-run engagement begins with access, ownership, privacy constraints and success criteria. The specialist should leave behind usable code, documented datasets and models, tests, monitoring guidance and a handover that the internal team can maintain. Experience with German and English communication can help when Berlin-based teams include local stakeholders and international colleagues.

Frequently asked questions

Not sure where to start with Machine Learning? These answers cover the essentials.

Machine Learning is used to predict outcomes, identify patterns and automate decisions from structured or unstructured data. Typical applications include recommendations, fraud detection, forecasting, document processing, demand planning and visual quality control.

Machine Learning learns relationships from examples, while traditional software rules are written explicitly by people. It is useful when the rules are complex or change often, but it requires suitable data, careful validation and ongoing monitoring.

Machine Learning is often the better fit for focused predictions, scoring, forecasting and classification. Generative AI is designed to create text, images, audio or other content, and both approaches can be combined when a product needs prediction plus natural-language interaction.

A strong Machine Learning specialist usually understands statistics, SQL, data engineering and software development. Depending on the project, useful adjacent skills include cloud infrastructure, MLOps, model serving, data visualisation, computer vision or natural language processing.

The right Machine Learning experience depends on risk, data complexity and the distance from prototype to production. A small exploratory model may need focused modelling expertise, while a customer-facing system requires experience with deployment, monitoring, security, testing and responsible data use.

Machine Learning projects can usually be delivered remotely when data access, environments and decision-makers are organised. On-site sessions in Berlin may help with discovery, domain workshops and handover, while most modelling and engineering work can happen asynchronously.

Ask a Machine Learning freelancer to explain the baseline, data limitations, validation design and business impact in clear language. Review whether they plan for leakage, bias, drift, reproducibility, model monitoring and a practical handover rather than presenting accuracy alone.

Before engaging a Machine Learning expert, define the business decision the model should support and identify available data owners. Access rules, privacy requirements, technical constraints and a clear success measure will help the specialist assess feasibility and propose a realistic delivery plan.
