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 OpenAI does

OpenAI provides models and tools for language, vision, audio and structured data tasks. Companies use the OpenAI API and GPT models to add conversational interfaces, document analysis, content workflows, coding support and business automation to existing products.

Products and architecture

OpenAI projects can range from a focused API integration to a complete application with user accounts, data pipelines and monitoring. Strong solutions separate prompts, business rules and model calls, while protecting sensitive inputs and controlling how responses reach users.

  • Connect GPT models through the OpenAI API
  • Add retrieval over company documents
  • Process text, images, speech or structured outputs
  • Design evaluation and fallback workflows

Ecosystem and skills

Professionals working with OpenAI often combine Python or TypeScript with REST APIs, cloud services, databases and observability tools. They may also work with embeddings, vector search, function calling, agents, prompt versioning and model evaluation. Product design and data protection practices matter as much as the API connection.

When companies hire specialists

Freelance expertise is useful when an internal team has a clear use case but needs help turning a prototype into a dependable product. It also helps when teams need to connect OpenAI with internal systems, improve response quality or establish a repeatable way to test model behavior.

  • A prototype needs production-ready architecture
  • Internal knowledge must be searchable through natural language
  • Manual support or operations work should be automated
  • Model quality, latency or usage controls need review

Berlin project context

In Berlin, OpenAI work can support software products, media workflows, customer operations, research teams and digital services. Local specialists may contribute on-site or remotely, depending on security and collaboration needs. For distributed teams, clear documentation and strong written English are especially valuable; German language support may matter for user-facing features.

What strong experts deliver

The best professionals define success before selecting a model. They test realistic inputs, handle refusals and uncertainty, protect personal and confidential data, and make outputs observable. Their deliverables can include a working integration, prompt and schema design, retrieval pipelines, evaluation sets, technical documentation and a plan for ongoing maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

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

Companies use OpenAI to add conversational search, document summarisation, content assistance, speech features, image understanding and workflow automation. The right implementation depends on the data, user journey, safety requirements and level of control the product needs.

OpenAI is often compared with Anthropic, Google and open-weight models. The decision should consider output quality for the target tasks, available modalities, integration effort, data handling, response speed, operating cost and the option to run or customise models elsewhere.

A strong OpenAI specialist may also work with Python or TypeScript, REST services, cloud infrastructure, SQL, vector databases and evaluation tooling. Experience with product design, security, access controls and data protection is important when model output affects customers or business processes.

The required background depends on the scope. A simple API feature can suit a professional who has delivered focused integrations, while a production system needs evidence of retrieval design, structured outputs, testing, monitoring, failure handling and secure data flows with OpenAI.

Yes. OpenAI work is often suitable for remote collaboration when repositories, environments, data access and acceptance criteria are well organised. On-site sessions can still help with discovery, stakeholder alignment or access to restricted systems, while user-facing features may require German as well as English.

Ask a potential OpenAI professional to explain how they would evaluate outputs, protect confidential data and handle uncertain answers. Look for practical examples, clear trade-offs and deliverables such as test cases, monitoring, prompt versioning and documentation rather than impressive demonstrations alone.

With OpenAI, retrieval is useful when answers must reflect changing or private company information. A well-designed system selects relevant sources, preserves permissions, cites supporting material where appropriate and measures whether retrieved context actually improves the result.

An OpenAI freelancer may deliver an API integration, a prompt and schema system, a retrieval pipeline, an assistant interface or an automated workflow. They should also define testing, error handling, access controls and operational guidance so the feature remains reliable after launch.

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.
