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.

Stack: Next.js 16, TypeScript, Supabase, pgvector, Anthropic Claude, Vercel, DeepInfra.

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

About the technology

What XGBoost does

XGBoost, short for Extreme Gradient Boosting, is an open-source machine learning library for supervised learning. It builds an ensemble of decision trees sequentially, correcting earlier errors to produce strong predictions for structured and tabular data. It supports classification, regression, ranking and probability estimation.

Typical applications

XGBoost is useful when business data is organised in rows and columns and prediction quality matters. Companies use it for risk assessment, demand planning, customer scoring, fraud detection and search relevance across finance, retail, manufacturing, logistics and other industries.

  • Predict customer churn or repayment risk
  • Rank products, documents or search results
  • Forecast demand from historical business data
  • Detect unusual transactions or operational events

Ecosystem and tooling

Strong work with XGBoost includes Python or R, pandas, NumPy and scikit-learn. Specialists often use Optuna or similar tools for hyperparameter tuning, SHAP for explainability, and MLflow for experiment tracking and model management. The library also offers interfaces for distributed workloads and GPU acceleration.

When freelance expertise helps

Companies bring in freelance XGBoost expertise when a proof of concept must become a dependable production model, or when an existing pipeline delivers unstable results. Support may cover feature engineering, validation design, imbalance handling, leakage checks, tuning and deployment. In Germany, professionals may collaborate remotely or on site with data, product and compliance teams.

Production responsibilities

A useful model is only part of the deliverable. Specialists connect training data to repeatable pipelines, package inference services, define monitoring signals and document assumptions. They also set appropriate evaluation metrics, manage model versions and create handover material so internal teams can operate the solution safely.

  • Prepare and validate training datasets
  • Compare baselines with tuned models
  • Explain predictions to business stakeholders
  • Monitor drift and refresh model inputs

What distinguishes strong specialists

The best professionals understand both gradient boosting and the business process behind the data. They know when XGBoost is a better fit than random forests, linear models or neural networks, and when it is not. They test against meaningful baselines, make trade-offs visible and avoid overfitting through disciplined validation. Clear communication matters as much as model skill, especially when results influence lending, pricing, supply chains or customer treatment.

Frequently asked questions

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

XGBoost is mainly used for supervised learning on structured or tabular data. It supports classification, regression and ranking tasks such as churn prediction, fraud detection, demand forecasting and search relevance.

XGBoost builds trees sequentially, with each tree correcting errors from earlier trees, while random forests train many trees with greater independence. XGBoost can achieve strong results on carefully prepared tabular data, but random forests may be simpler to tune and more forgiving of noisy inputs.

XGBoost is often a strong choice when the main data is tabular, datasets are moderate in size, and explainability and fast iteration matter. Neural networks may be better suited to images, audio, language or other unstructured inputs, although the final choice depends on the data and delivery requirements.

A strong XGBoost specialist usually works with Python, pandas, NumPy and scikit-learn. Useful adjacent skills include feature engineering, SQL, data validation, MLflow, SHAP, cloud deployment, model monitoring and API integration.

The required background depends on the assignment. A prototype may need modelling and data preparation skills, while a production system calls for experience with leakage prevention, reproducible pipelines, monitoring, retraining and integration with operational software.

Yes, XGBoost work is commonly delivered remotely when data access, environments and documentation are well organised. On-site collaboration can still help when the project involves sensitive information, complex stakeholder workshops or close work with local data and compliance teams.

Ask how the professional defines a baseline, separates training from validation data and selects metrics that reflect the business decision. A capable XGBoost professional should also explain feature leakage, class imbalance, model interpretability, reproducibility and how performance will be monitored after release.

A complete XGBoost engagement should provide a validated model, reproducible training process, prepared features and clear evaluation results. Depending on scope, it may also include an inference service, deployment configuration, monitoring rules, model documentation and guidance for future retraining.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used XGBoost in their recent projects is 84 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 673 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers in Germany who have used XGBoost in their recent projects, 100% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 81% hold at least a Master's degree, and 15% hold a doctorate.

On average, freelancers in Germany who have used XGBoost in their recent projects have 10 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 1.6 years.

The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used XGBoost in their recent projects are English (100%), German (98%), and Hindi (17%).
