Meet Jake – Our Freelance AI & Machine Learning Specialist


With over a decade of experience in the German freelance market, Jake is a seasoned recruiter who has built a reputation for connecting businesses with the right freelance talent. His expertise lies at the intersection of AI, Machine Learning, and MLOps, where he has successfully partnered with companies to deliver high-impact technical projects.

Most recently, Jake has been providing dedicated support in the fast-moving areas of Databricks, Agentic systems, and LLM/NLP technologies. He works closely with both clients and freelancers to ensure the right skills align with the right projects, helping organisations navigate the evolving landscape of AI innovation.

Jake’s View: What Clients Are Asking For

In almost every conversation I have with companies right now, one question keeps coming up: where should we focus when it comes to AI?

For some, it’s about automation to streamline processes. Others want to improve workflows, use data for customer insights, or build chatbots and conversational AI. There’s also growing interest in LMOps and platforms like Databricks.

But the real challenge isn’t just deciding what to prioritise — it’s ensuring you have the right people at the right time. Without that, even the best strategies can stall.

That’s where I come in. My role is to help companies secure the talent they need — from data engineers to machine learning experts — so these ambitions can become reality.

If your organisation is at that crossroads of “where do we start?”, I’d be happy to share what I’m seeing in the market and help you take the next step.


In summary, companies are exploring AI, machine learning, LMOps and Databricks in different ways — from automation and workflow efficiency to customer insights and chatbot development. The opportunities are exciting, but the real success factor remains the same: having the right people at the right time.



Technology decisions can set the direction, but without the right expertise, even the strongest strategies risk losing momentum.

My role is to help organisations bridge that gap — connecting you with the specialists who can transform plans into progress. If you’re looking to sharpen your focus or scale your AI and data capabilities, I’d be happy to share what I’m seeing in the market and help you find the talent that will drive results.
