Last position:

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

What OpenAI provides

OpenAI develops artificial intelligence models and tools for working with language, images, audio, and structured data. Companies use the OpenAI API and ChatGPT to add conversational interfaces, content generation, document analysis, extraction, classification, and workflow automation to their products. The right implementation connects these capabilities to a clear business process rather than treating a model as a standalone feature.

Models and APIs

OpenAI projects can involve GPT models, embeddings, structured outputs, image generation, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech. Specialists work with API authentication, prompt design, tool calling, streaming responses, context handling, and usage controls. They also select suitable model behavior, response formats, and safeguards for each task.

Typical applications

  • Customer support assistants connected to approved knowledge sources
  • Search and question answering across contracts, manuals, or reports
  • Structured extraction from invoices, applications, and business documents
  • Content workflows with review steps and brand controls
  • Voice, image, and text features inside digital products

Engineering around models

Useful OpenAI solutions depend on the surrounding system. Professionals often combine the API with Python or TypeScript services, REST and event-driven integrations, databases, vector search, retrieval-augmented generation, and cloud infrastructure. They may also build evaluation sets, prompt versioning, access controls, logging, caching, and human approval flows.

When companies need specialists

Companies bring in freelance OpenAI expertise when a proof of concept must become a dependable product, an existing assistant gives inconsistent answers, or sensitive business information needs a controlled retrieval flow. Berlin teams may benefit from on-site workshops or remote collaboration across Germany, depending on their delivery process and language needs. A specialist can also review vendor choices, data flows, and production readiness.

What strong professionals deliver

Strong OpenAI professionals define success criteria before tuning prompts. They test representative inputs, measure factuality and refusal behavior, protect personal and confidential data, and make failure paths visible to users. They explain model limitations clearly, keep application logic separate from generated text, and deliver maintainable integrations that can evolve as models and requirements change.

Frequently asked questions

The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to OpenAI.

Companies use OpenAI to add conversational support, document understanding, content assistance, semantic search, data extraction, and voice or image features to software. The API can support both customer-facing products and internal workflows when it is connected to trusted data and clear review rules.

OpenAI offers managed models and APIs, while open-source models can provide more control over hosting, customization, and data location. The better choice depends on response quality, integration effort, security requirements, operating constraints, and the level of infrastructure ownership a company wants.

A strong OpenAI specialist often also understands backend development, API integration, databases, vector search, retrieval-augmented generation, cloud deployment, and information security. Experience with evaluation, observability, prompt versioning, and user experience is equally useful for production systems.

The required depth depends on the scope. A simple prototype may need focused API and prompt expertise, while a production system calls for OpenAI experience alongside testing, access control, data handling, monitoring, and failure recovery. The professional should show work comparable to the risk and complexity of the project.

Yes. OpenAI projects are usually suitable for remote delivery because requirements, prompts, test cases, API changes, and evaluation results can be shared digitally. Berlin companies should agree on working hours, workshop expectations, documentation, and whether German-language communication is needed.

Before using OpenAI, the freelancer should clarify the user problem, approved data sources, privacy boundaries, expected response behavior, review steps, and success measures. They should also confirm the existing stack, deployment environment, access permissions, and who owns ongoing model and prompt changes.

Ask for representative evaluation cases, failure examples, monitoring plans, and an explanation of how inaccurate or unsafe responses are handled. High-quality OpenAI work is measurable, traceable, secure, and designed for graceful failure rather than judged only by a convincing demo.

OpenAI may be suitable when the solution uses an approved data flow, suitable access controls, careful retention decisions, and appropriate legal and security review. A specialist should map where information travels, limit retrieval to authorized content, avoid unnecessary exposure, and document the safeguards before production use.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Berlin, Germany who have used OpenAI in their recent projects is 96 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 772 € based on an 8-hour working day.
