Hakan A.
Last position:
Senior Software Engineer — AI Evaluation & Benchmarks at Diversido
- Provided technical leadership for a 4-engineer team delivering 3 major client platforms in 12 months with microservices architecture and scalability solutions — 100% of scoped majors shipped ahead of schedule vs. planned milestones (baseline: prior releases often slipped 1–2 sprints).
- Ran AI model evaluation and model outputs evaluation on LLM/AI vendor APIs: safety, completeness, instruction adherence, and groundedness review before go-live; cut escaped bad outputs in AI-integrated release checklists from recurring UAT findings to near-zero on final promote.
- Drove API development and performance optimization for payment, exchange, and AI services; fail-closed error handling and payload validation reduced integration rework cycles by ~35% vs. the first AI integration pass.
- Applied software testing, testing frameworks, code quality assurance, and code refactoring with continuous integration gates; first-pass PR acceptance improved across the team and production hotfixes on AI adapters dropped noticeably after review standards landed.
- Owned DevOps practices: Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins-compatible pipelines, and version control workflows — cut deployment time ~50% vs. pre-automation baseline and stabilized releases across 3 client environments.
- Implemented verifier/oracle-style pass-fail checks in container sandboxes (Harbor/Terminal-Bench aligned); wrote technical documentation so failures cleared in one review cycle.
- Led cross-functional collaboration with product and client stakeholders; translated AI evaluation scores and risk findings into plain-language briefs for non-technical partners, unblocking go/no-go decisions without extra engineering meetings.
- Used agile methodologies for sprint planning and backlog ownership; mentored engineers so mid-level contributors owned AI adapter modules independently by mid-engagement.

Kay M.
Last position:
NGO, German Party
- Built advanced expertise in designing and deploying Model Context Protocol (MCP) infrastructures to enhance AI agent capabilities for an NGO.
- Developed and maintained MCP servers (e.g., using FastMCP) exposing external tools and data sources to LLMs via a standardized API (JSOB).
- Enabled seamless tool integration by adhering an MCP client-server architecture, allowing AI hosts or agents to dynamically discover and invoke tools, access resources, and leverage custom prompts (File Storage, SQL DBs, weaviate, chroma).
- Automated deployment (CI/CD) in AWS with IaC (CDK) and Jenkins (scheduler).
- Conducted comparative model evaluation due to German language needs (Hugging Face over Anthropic, Coehere, others) and AWS Bedrock.
- Evaluated legal and regulatory aspects, ensuring the MCP-based solutions complied with emerging EU AI Act requirements, such as risk classification, transparency, documentation, and responsible tool provisioning within the European context.

About the technology
What Weaviate does
Weaviate is an open-source vector database for storing, searching and enriching data by meaning. It turns text, images and other objects into vectors, then supports semantic, hybrid and keyword search through a consistent API. Companies use it to power search, recommendations, knowledge assistants and retrieval-augmented generation.
Core search capabilities
Weaviate combines vector similarity with structured filters, keyword relevance and ranking logic. Its collections, properties, references and modules help teams model domain data while keeping retrieval fast and explainable. Experts work with embeddings, distance metrics, metadata filters, tenant isolation and result limits to shape useful search behavior.
Ecosystem and tooling
A Weaviate project often connects the database with application code, embedding services and an orchestration layer.
- Configure collections, schemas, properties and references
- Integrate OpenAI, Cohere, Hugging Face or self-hosted models
- Build hybrid search and retrieval-augmented generation flows
- Operate Weaviate Cloud or self-managed deployments
Python, TypeScript, Java and Go clients support common application stacks. Docker, Kubernetes, observability tools and CI pipelines are also relevant around production deployments.
Where companies use it
Teams bring Weaviate into customer support assistants, enterprise knowledge search, product discovery, content recommendation and document intelligence. It can support multilingual content, image-aware retrieval and data products that need contextual results rather than exact keyword matches. In Germany, specialists may also support collaboration with local product, data and compliance teams across remote or on-site settings.
When freelance expertise helps
External expertise is useful when a proof of concept must become a stable service, or when search quality remains inconsistent after the first integration.
- Select embedding and reranking strategies for the data
- Migrate content from relational or document systems
- Tune hybrid retrieval, filters and relevance evaluation
- Secure, monitor and scale a production deployment
A specialist can also review architecture, reduce retrieval latency and create clear handover documentation for an internal team.
What strong specialists bring
Strong Weaviate professionals understand both vector search and the application around it. They can explain how chunking, metadata, embeddings and model changes affect results, then validate those choices with representative queries. They know when Weaviate is appropriate, when a simpler search design is better, and how to keep generated answers grounded in retrieved sources.
They also treat operations as part of delivery: backups, upgrades, access control, data isolation, monitoring and failure handling should be defined before launch. Clear experiments, reproducible configuration and practical communication distinguish a reliable specialist from someone who has only connected a client library.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about Weaviate, in one place.
Weaviate is used to store data with vector representations and retrieve it by semantic similarity. Companies use it for intelligent search, recommendations, document retrieval, image search and retrieval-augmented generation. It can combine meaning-based retrieval with keywords and structured filters.
Weaviate is designed around vector-native retrieval, while Elasticsearch and OpenSearch traditionally center on text search and broader search infrastructure. The alternatives can also support vector search, so the choice depends on existing systems, query needs, operational preferences and the depth of semantic retrieval required.
A strong Weaviate specialist usually understands embeddings, chunking, reranking and evaluation for search quality. They may also bring experience with Python or TypeScript, LLM APIs, RAG orchestration, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud operations and data pipelines.
The right level depends on the scope. A simple proof of concept may need someone comfortable with collections, embeddings and client integrations, while a production system calls for deeper knowledge of relevance testing, security, scaling and recovery. Ask candidates to explain comparable decisions and trade-offs, not only to show a demo.
Yes. Weaviate work is often suitable for remote collaboration because configuration, code review, testing and observability can be shared online. On-site work in Germany may still help when the project involves sensitive data, close cooperation with internal teams or complex platform changes.
Look for evidence of a complete delivery: data modeling, embedding selection, retrieval evaluation, deployment and monitoring. A capable Weaviate professional should describe how they handle poor matches, changing models, duplicate content, access control and source grounding.
Yes. Weaviate is commonly used as the retrieval layer in large language model applications. It stores source content and metadata, finds relevant context and passes that context to a generation service, while filters and tenant controls help keep responses tied to the right data.
Weaviate can be a strong choice when semantic retrieval is central and the team needs vector search, filtering, references and model integrations in one system. A relational or document database may be simpler when exact queries dominate, the dataset is modest or vector retrieval is only an occasional feature.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Weaviate in their recent projects is 107 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 856 € based on an 8-hour working day.
