Fred Hauschel
Last position:
Software Architect and Developer at Personal project
A recurring problem in my own AI-supported projects: requirements analysis, use cases, and architecture decisions can be created quickly with AI support, but they remain hard to trace and scattered across Markdown files – knowledge is lost as soon as it is no longer in the context window. arknet turns requirements engineering and architecture knowledge into structured, verifiable data instead of plain text: requirements, use cases, and architecture decisions as a continuously linked knowledge graph, traceable from the requirement to the architecture decision – queryable for both people and AI agents alike. Technically based on RDF/OWL and its own MCP server.
Result: MCP daemon running, Docker image automatically published on GHCR, nine hexagonal modules, eleven ADRs (including an open-core licensing model). Requirements engineering and ubiquitous language hexagon active. Publicly available since 07/2026 as a Community Edition under Apache-2.0 (github.com/kogn-io/arknet), together with the Claude Code plugin and the GHCR image; open-core model.
Label: Java, Maven, RDF, RDF4J, OWL, SPARQL, Model Context Protocol, Spring AI, Docker, GitHub, Git, Claude Code, Obsidian, DDD, Hexagonal Architecture, ArchUnit, JUnit, AssertJ

About the technology
OpenAI work
OpenAI is used to add language, reasoning, and automation to products and internal tools. Specialists use the OpenAI API, ChatGPT, and GPT models to build assistants, search helpers, content flows, and decision support. The result must fit real business tasks, not just demos.
Typical projects
- Customer support assistants and ticket drafting
- Knowledge search over company documents
- Content generation and review workflows
- Internal copilots for sales, ops, or HR
- Classification, extraction, and summarization pipelines
Ecosystem skills
Strong professionals know prompts, function calling, structured outputs, embeddings, and retrieval-augmented generation. They also work with APIs, Python, JavaScript, vector databases, and cloud services. Good work includes clean evaluation, logging, and fallback behavior.
When to bring in help
Companies often bring in freelance expertise when an OpenAI proof of concept needs to become a stable product. That includes prompt hardening, cost control, model choice, safety rules, and integration with existing systems. In Germany, this often means working well with English source material and German user-facing text.
What strong specialists deliver
A good OpenAI specialist does more than connect an endpoint. They shape reliable prompts, handle context limits, reduce hallucinations, and design flows that stay useful when input quality varies. They also document choices so product teams can maintain the solution.
Quality signals
Look for specialists who can explain model selection, error handling, evaluation, and data handling in plain words. They should show examples with OpenAI, ChatGPT, or the OpenAI API that match your use case. For regulated or sensitive work, ask how they separate public model use from private data paths.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about OpenAI.
OpenAI is used to add text generation, search, summarization, classification, and assistant flows to products and internal tools. Companies use it for support automation, document processing, sales enablement, and knowledge access. The best freelancers turn these ideas into systems that fit real workflows.
OpenAI is the provider and platform behind products such as ChatGPT and the GPT model family. ChatGPT is often the user-facing experience, while the API is what teams use to build custom solutions. A strong specialist knows when a direct API integration is better than a simple ChatGPT workflow.
A good OpenAI specialist usually brings prompt design, API integration, Python or JavaScript, and knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation. For production work, logging, evaluation, security handling, and data cleanup matter just as much. If the project touches search, vector databases are often part of the stack.
The right OpenAI expert depends on scope. A small internal assistant may need a focused specialist who can ship fast, while a customer-facing product needs deeper experience with reliability, guardrails, and testing. For anything sensitive, look for someone who has handled production systems before.
Yes, most OpenAI work can be done remotely because the core tasks are design, integration, and testing. For German teams, remote collaboration works well when the specialist can handle English technical material and German user-facing content. On-site sessions can still help for workshops or stakeholder reviews.
A strong OpenAI freelancer can explain model choices, prompt strategy, and failure handling without vague language. Look for concrete examples of assistants, extraction flows, or retrieval setups, plus clear thinking about evaluation and data protection. Good specialists also know where not to use a model.
OpenAI API work is specific to OpenAI models, tools, and limits, so the details matter. Generic AI talk can stay abstract, but real delivery needs knowledge of prompts, context windows, structured outputs, and cost control. That is why proven project work is more useful than broad claims.
Before you hire a OpenAI specialist, prepare a clear use case, sample data, success criteria, and any rules about sensitive information. It also helps to list the systems that need to connect to the model, such as CRM, ticketing, or search. The clearer the input, the faster the specialist can shape a useful solution.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used OpenAI in their recent projects is 95 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 758 € based on an 8-hour working day.
