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.

Co-developer at Nikan AI Solutions GmbH
Multi-Agent Document-Generation Platform
Problem:
Turn a single prompt into a well-researched, structured and cited document, while keeping the user in control: every stage can be reviewed, corrected or revisited before the system moves on.
Architecture:
A multi-agent system orchestrated by a central controller. More than 20 specialised pydantic-ai subagents (understanding, structuring, planning, research, writing, assembly, cross-reference check, glossary, citation, reference table and more) pass results forward through a shared plan persisted in Postgres (asyncpg); a runner layer dispatches each task by name to its agent, and mechanical steps such as formatting, table of contents and list of figures are deterministic code instead of LLM calls. Provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) is a configuration setting, and responses stream over Server-Sent Events.
Hosting & Infrastructure:
Stateless container run as a Scaleway Serverless Container on a private network with managed PostgreSQL, object storage for finished documents and assets, and centralized log shipping (Loki / Scaleway Cockpit), provisioned with OpenTofu modules and deployed through GitLab CI; usage is metered per API key.
My Contribution & Key Decisions:
- Central decision controller: a satisfaction classifier turns the user's free-text feedback into a verdict (keep working, advance, cancel or revise an earlier task), and a middleware applies it to the plan. Plan progression supports jumping back to earlier tasks and re-running the stages after them.
- Research and writing fan-out: planning produces a plan from which a research-design agent generates individual research tasks and a writing-design agent generates individual writing tasks, each linked to the research it needs. Every task runs in its own dedicated agent with its own conversation history.
- Self-review and human-in-the-loop: after each step a critical-thinking agent reviews the output; the user can accept, refine, or ask questions about a critique before the plan advances.
- MCP integrations: two remote MCP servers, web search and internal document search, connected through pydantic-ai with retries and long-running tool-call timeouts. Classifier agents decide per task whether web search is needed, and a small model condenses raw search results into structured findings before they reach the writing agents.
Usage Metering:
Clients authenticate with an API key validated against a key-management service; consumption is charged in credits calculated from token usage per model plus a markup, and exhausted quota is answered with HTTP 429.

About the technology
What pgvector does
pgvector is an open-source extension for PostgreSQL that stores and searches vector embeddings alongside relational data. It enables applications to compare text, images or other data by meaning rather than exact keywords. Companies use it for semantic search, recommendations, document retrieval and AI features without moving core data to a separate vector database.
Search and retrieval
The extension supports exact nearest-neighbor searches as well as approximate indexes based on HNSW and IVFFlat. Strong implementations choose the right distance measure, including cosine, inner product or Euclidean distance, and tune index construction for the data volume and query pattern. Filtering with normal PostgreSQL fields helps combine semantic similarity with permissions, tenant boundaries and business rules.
Ecosystem and tooling
pgvector fits naturally into the PostgreSQL ecosystem and common application stacks. Specialists often work with:
- PostgreSQL schema design, migrations and query optimization
- Embedding APIs and models from providers such as OpenAI, Cohere or open-source libraries
- Python, JavaScript, Java, Ruby, Go or .NET integrations
- HNSW and IVFFlat index creation, monitoring and maintenance
- Metadata filtering, chunking and embedding refresh pipelines
Typical applications
Teams bring pgvector into products that need context-aware results without rebuilding their data layer. Typical deliverables include:
- Semantic site, product or knowledge-base search
- Retrieval-augmented generation pipelines for grounded answers
- Similar-item, content and catalog recommendations
- Duplicate detection and document or image matching
- Personalization using user, content and interaction embeddings
When expertise matters
Freelance expertise is useful when a proof of concept must become a reliable production service, or when search quality and database performance are falling short. Signs include slow similarity queries, inconsistent embedding versions, unclear chunking decisions or filters that exclude relevant results. In Germany, teams may also value professionals who can collaborate remotely in English and coordinate on-site work in German-speaking environments when needed.
What strong professionals deliver
Strong pgvector professionals connect machine-learning choices with sound database engineering. They define an embedding strategy, document model and distance metric, then validate relevance with representative queries rather than relying on index settings alone. They also plan migrations, backfills, access control, observability and cost-aware refresh jobs. Experience with PostgreSQL operations, application APIs and evaluation workflows makes the result easier to maintain than a narrow vector-search prototype.
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to pgvector.
pgvector adds vector storage and similarity search to PostgreSQL. It is commonly used for semantic search, recommendations, document retrieval, duplicate detection and retrieval-augmented generation while keeping embeddings close to relational data.
pgvector is often a strong choice when a company already relies on PostgreSQL and needs joins, transactions, permissions and metadata filters in the same system. Dedicated vector databases may be preferable for highly specialized workloads, but the right decision depends on scale, latency targets, operations and data architecture.
A capable pgvector professional usually understands PostgreSQL indexing, query planning, schema design and migrations. They should also be comfortable with embedding models, chunking, retrieval evaluation, API integration and production monitoring.
A small proof of concept with pgvector may need focused database and application knowledge. A production system requires broader experience with index selection, embedding updates, relevance testing, access controls, failure handling and PostgreSQL operations.
pgvector projects are often suitable for remote collaboration because schema changes, retrieval tests and infrastructure work can be reviewed online. For teams in Germany, clarify working language, overlap with local business hours and whether occasional on-site workshops are required.
Ask a pgvector specialist to explain the embedding model, distance metric, chunking strategy and index choice in relation to real queries. Review relevance tests, query plans, migration safety, filtering behavior and monitoring rather than judging the result only by a demo.
pgvector is useful when users need results based on meaning, intent or similarity and exact terms are not enough. Many products combine it with PostgreSQL full-text search, metadata filters or ranking rules to balance semantic relevance with precise business requirements.
A common pgvector mistake is selecting an index before understanding query volume, filtering patterns and recall needs. Other problems include mixing embedding versions, skipping relevance evaluation, storing unclear metadata and treating approximate search settings as a substitute for good data preparation.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used pgvector in their recent projects is 90 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 717 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used pgvector in their recent projects, 97% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 76% hold at least a Master's degree, and 12% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used pgvector in their recent projects have 14 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 1.9 years.
