Freelance data and AI consultants

  • Data engineering
  • Machine learning
  • Generative AI

Scattered data, a model to deploy or an assistant to integrate: we look for the freelance consultant who knows your sources and your architecture. You choose, they work with your teams.

Areas of intervention

Which discipline does your project call on?

01

Data platforms and data quality

Connect business sources to an operational platform: ingestion, transformations, data models and quality checks. Then say who owns each dataset, who may access it, and who answers for it in operation.

The profiles you might meet

  • Data architect
  • Data engineer
  • Data governance lead

Deliverables to scope together

  • Map of sources, flows and owners
  • Documented pipelines and quality checks
  • Data models and business glossary
02

Machine learning and MLOps

Prepare the transition from a trained model to a maintained service: reference data and versioning first, then testing, deployment and monitoring. The expert works with business and operations teams to set the conditions for use and handover.

The profiles you might meet

  • Machine learning engineer
  • MLOps engineer
  • Data scientist

Deliverables to scope together

  • Evaluation protocol and reference dataset
  • Deployment pipeline and rollback procedure
  • Data and model monitoring plan
03

Generative AI and information retrieval

Design an assistant based on a defined document collection, access rights and specific tasks. The work runs from document retrieval through to integration into business tools, by way of evaluating the responses it generates.

The profiles you might meet

  • Generative AI engineer
  • Information retrieval engineer
  • AI architect

Deliverables to scope together

  • Document collection inventory and access rules
  • Evaluation scenarios with expected answers
  • Integrated prototype and documented usage limitations

At which stage of your project do we step in?

  1. Before the project

    The use case is set: we find the consultant who maps the data to it.

  2. During the project

    Build under way: your agent tracks the milestones and adjusts the brief with you.

  3. After the project

    Service live: we organise the handover and, if needed, the permanent hire.

Before we talk

Which data will support which task?

Describe the task and the available sources: applications, databases or documents. Tell us who can reach them, how often they are updated and who actually knows them.

  1. Which business decision or task depends on the data or model, and how does the team currently assess the quality of the result?
  2. Which sources, volumes and access rights are available, and who can arrange for data to be corrected at source?
  3. Does the scope stop at the prototype, or include deployment, monitoring and handover to an identified operations team?

Do you practise one of these roles?

  • Chief Data Officer / Head of Data
  • Data platform architect
  • Senior data engineer
  • Machine learning / MLOps engineer
  • Generative AI engineer

We look for these profiles for our clients on a regular basis. Tell us about your achievements and the projects you have led: a talent agent calls you back to understand what you are looking for.

Frequently asked

Data & AI: your questions

Do you need a data engineer or a data scientist?

A data engineer works on data flows and their operation. A data scientist develops and evaluates models or analyses. If data access and quality are blocking the project, define this work before extending the search to modelling.

Can we contact you before our data is ready?

Yes. Tell us which sources you know and what is missing. We can look for a professional to start with an inventory and quality checks before you decide on the next stage of the project.

Does an AI prototype include production deployment?

No. An exploratory project demonstrates what is possible under specific conditions; production deployment adds integration and testing, security, monitoring and rollback, then handover to your teams. The brief must specify which of these responsibilities belong to the professional.

How do we prepare a document assistant project?

Identify the documents, users and questions to address, then prepare a few cases with their answers. That leaves access permissions, document updates and response evaluation: discuss those with the teams that manage them.

What should we prepare for the first discussion?

A short description of the use case, data and team can be enough. The data and AI brief guide helps you gather useful information and identify open questions.
