Last position:
Agentic Automation and a RAG system
- This project involved extraction of intelligence data to support report writing for a company that provides geopolitical, global, commercial intelligence. The data have been gathered from a number of resources (interview transcripts, online data, internal documents), and then a knowledge base has been build from it. This was the basis of a complex RAG system, that was evaluated against a golden dataset. Agents have been used to find out the contradicting intelligence, the statements supporting each other, and to store back the generated knowledge.
Used: Python, RAG, LangGraph, LangChain, deepeval, MCP

Personal AI Engineering Project — Croky AI at Crocky AI
Product:
- Built a production-ready AI platform for generating brand-aware marketing images and videos from product data, user requirements, and uploaded media.
- Own the platform architecture, technical roadmap, API design, security, deployment workflow, operational reliability, and model-provider strategy.
- Developed the core platform in .NET and built supporting AI and workflow prototypes in Python, applying language-independent API contracts and structured interfaces between services and model providers.
- Implemented reliable background processing with RabbitMQ, persisted workflow state, idempotent handling, retries, failure recovery, logging, secure storage, authorization, and credit accounting.
- Made pragmatic build-versus-buy and model-routing decisions based on reliability, latency, cost, and maintainability rather than novelty.
Agent Orchestration & RAG Systems
- Built and compared agent workflows using Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, and LangChain, including tool use, conditional routing, clarification steps, state management, and hand-offs between agents.
- Implemented reusable .NET components for agents, prompts, tools, model providers, structured responses, and retrieval with pyvector, making it easier to change AI providers without rewriting the core workflow.

Last position:
Software Architect and Developer at Personal project
Recurring problem in my own AI-assisted projects: requirements analysis, use cases, and architecture decisions can be created quickly with AI support, but remain difficult to follow 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 form a consistently linked knowledge graph, traceable from requirement to architecture decision – queryable by both people and AI agents. Technically based on RDF/OWL and a custom MCP server.
Result: Working MCP daemon, Docker image published automatically to GHCR, nine hexagonal modules, eleven ADRs (including an Open-Core licensing model). Requirements engineering and Ubiquitous Language hexagons are active. Public as a Community Edition under Apache-2.0 since 07/2026 (github.com/kogn-io/arknet), together with the Claude Code plugin and GHCR image; Open-Core model.

About the technology
Core database
PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database system built for transactional workloads, analytical queries, and applications that need dependable data integrity. It supports SQL, transactions, constraints, indexes, views, stored procedures, and extensible data types. Teams use it as the primary data store behind business software, digital services, and internal systems.
Where it fits
PostgreSQL can support customer platforms, financial workflows, content systems, logistics applications, and reporting environments. Its relational model suits structured business data, while extensions such as PostGIS add geospatial capabilities and JSONB supports document-style data within a relational design.
- Design schemas for new products and services
- Migrate data from legacy databases
- Build reporting and analytics foundations
- Support geospatial and mixed-format data
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong PostgreSQL specialists work with migration tools, backup and recovery systems, monitoring, and deployment automation. Common surroundings include Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud database services. Application connections often involve Python, Java, Node.js, Ruby, Go, or .NET, using drivers, ORMs, and connection pools carefully.
When specialists help
Companies bring in freelance PostgreSQL expertise during new system design, difficult migrations, performance incidents, and scaling work. Munich teams may choose on-site collaboration for architecture sessions and remote delivery for focused database tasks. Clear documentation and confident English or German communication help distributed teams move efficiently.
- Query plans reveal slow or expensive operations
- Replication, failover, or backups need review
- Schema changes must avoid service disruption
- Reporting workloads compete with live transactions
What quality looks like
A strong professional treats performance as a data-modeling, query, and workload question rather than simply adding hardware. They understand indexes, locking, isolation levels, vacuuming, partitioning, replication, and recovery objectives. They also test migrations, explain trade-offs, and leave maintainable runbooks for the internal team.
Hiring for the right outcome
Assess specialists through a concrete PostgreSQL problem: an execution plan, a migration path, or a recovery scenario. Ask how they measure improvement, protect data, and validate changes under realistic load. The right freelancer combines hands-on database judgment with the adjacent application, infrastructure, and security skills your system requires.
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to PostgreSQL.
PostgreSQL is used to store and manage structured data for web applications, enterprise systems, analytics, financial workflows, and location-aware services. It is well suited to workloads that require reliable transactions, complex queries, and strong data integrity.
PostgreSQL and MySQL are both widely used relational databases, but PostgreSQL is often chosen for advanced SQL, extensibility, complex data models, and strict transactional behavior. MySQL may be a practical fit for simpler application workloads or teams already invested in its tooling, so the choice should follow the system’s query, consistency, and operational needs.
A strong PostgreSQL specialist usually understands data modeling, SQL, Linux, backups, monitoring, and cloud infrastructure. Experience with application runtimes, ORMs, Docker, Kubernetes, and migration automation is also valuable because database decisions affect the wider system.
The right level of PostgreSQL experience depends on the risk and scope of the work. A schema review may need focused database expertise, while a migration, high-availability design, or recovery project calls for a professional who has handled comparable production conditions.
PostgreSQL work is often suitable for remote collaboration because access, monitoring, documentation, and deployment can be managed securely online. On-site workshops in Munich can still help with architecture decisions, stakeholder alignment, and handover, especially during major migrations.
Ask a PostgreSQL specialist to explain an execution plan, index choice, migration strategy, and backup recovery test in clear terms. Good professionals connect technical decisions to business risk, measure changes before and after implementation, and document how the team can operate the result.
PostgreSQL supports JSON and JSONB for semi-structured data, while PostGIS adds powerful geospatial storage and queries. These capabilities can reduce the need for separate systems, but the schema, indexes, and query patterns still need careful design.
Before joining a PostgreSQL project, freelancers should clarify the workload, data model, deployment setup, recovery expectations, access controls, and release process. Understanding the application’s connection behavior and the team’s monitoring practices is just as important as knowing SQL.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Munich, Germany who have used PostgreSQL in their recent projects is 98 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 783 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Munich, Germany who have used PostgreSQL in their recent projects, 96% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 71% hold at least a Master's degree, and 10% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Munich, Germany who have used PostgreSQL in their recent projects have 19 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.1 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Munich, Germany who have used PostgreSQL in their recent projects are German (96%), English (95%), and French (17%).
