Ranking on Google is no longer enough. Your customers are also asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews which companies, products, and experts they should trust. I help businesses become one of those answers. I’m José David Hernández, an Expert-Vetted SEO, AEO, GEO, and AI Search Optimization Specialist with 12+ years of experience, 400+ completed projects, clients across 42 countries, and 20,000+ hours of professional experience in SEO and digital growth. My focus is simple: build visibility across Google and AI-powered search as one connected system. That means combining Technical SEO, Answer Engine Optimization, Generative Engine Optimization, content, entities, structured data, authority, Local SEO, and user experience instead of treating them as separate tactics. I’ve contributed to projects involving brands such as Pizza Hut, Hungry Howie’s, and HP, as well as SaaS companies, eCommerce brands, law firms, real estate companies, contractors, and professional service businesses. WHAT I HELP BUSINESSES ACHIEVE • Higher rankings on Google and Bing • More visibility in Google AI Overviews • Greater presence in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude • Stronger commercial keyword rankings • Better crawlability and indexation • Stronger entity and topical authority • More qualified organic traffic, leads, and revenue opportunities • Better Local SEO and Google Maps visibility AI SEO, AEO & GEO I help businesses become easier for search engines and AI systems to understand, validate, cite, and recommend.

I'm a solo founder. Right now I run 7 software products that are live and paying their own bills, and that's really the thing worth knowing about me. I don't close a ticket and vanish. I build like the product is mine, because usually it has been. These days I use AI to ship in days what used to take weeks. Automations that kill manual work, internal tools, web apps, whole products. Fast, but I don't hand you a mess to clean up later. What I can help with: • Automating the repetitive work that eats your team's week: reporting, data flows, lead handling, the boring glue between your tools • Internal tools and dashboards to replace the spreadsheets and manual steps you've outgrown • Taking a web app or MVP from idea to something people can actually use • Adding AI where it moves a real number, not because it's the trend Most developers have never had to keep a product alive after launch. I have, more than once, and it teaches you things a spec never will. So I'm thinking about what your code costs to run and the edge cases that show up three months in, not just shipping and moving on. I work best as an ongoing partner. I bill hourly, and honestly I'd rather build something long-term where I get to know your business than do a one-off and disappear. Easy way to start: throw one real project at me and see how it goes. So tell me what you're building, or what's slowing you down. I'll tell you how I'd tackle it.

Most brands do not need more random videos. They need better video creatives that can stop people from scrolling, explain the offer quickly, and make the viewer want to take action. That is exactly what I help with. I create AI UGC video ads, HeyGen avatar videos, and short-form AI video creatives for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Meta ads. I help brands turn products, offers, and scripts into clean videos . I work with e-commerce brands, digital agencies, coaches, course creators, SaaS companies, app founders, creators, and businesses that need fast, clean, and engaging video content without hiring a full production team. Using tools like Veo 3, HeyGen, Runway, Sora, Synthesia, ElevenLabs, CapCut Pro, and Adobe Premiere Pro, I create AI-powered videos that feel natural, modern, and built for social platforms. My focus is not just making a video look nice. I build each creative around the hook, script, pacing, captions, visual flow, product angle, and call-to-action. The goal is simple: make the viewer stop, understand the message, and take the next step. WHAT I CAN CREATE FOR YOU ✅ • AI UGC video ads • Short-form video ads • TikTok video ads • Instagram Reels ads • Meta ad creatives • YouTube Shorts videos • AI avatar videos • HeyGen spokesperson videos • Veo 3 cinematic videos • Product video ads • App promo videos • SaaS explainer videos • Faceless UGC-style videos • AI voiceover videos • Hook and script writing • Captions, subtitles, and CTA text • Multiple video variations for testing HOW I WORK ✅ You can send me your product, website, offer, target audience, existing content, or a rough idea. From there, I can help with the creative angle, hook, script, scene direction, AI video generation, editing flow, captions, voiceover, and final mobile-first video. I do not just put clips together. I think about what the viewer sees first, why they should care, what problem the video needs to solve, and what action they should take after watching. That is why every video I create is built around attention, clarity, trust, and action. COMMON CLIENT QUESTIONS ✅ “Do you write the script or do I need to send one?” I can write the script for you. You only need to send your offer, audience, product link, or goal. I will create the hook, script, video direction, captions, and CTA. If you already have a script, I can improve it and make it stronger for short-form video. “Can you create AI avatar or spokesperson videos?” Yes. I can create AI avatar and spokesperson-style videos using tools like HeyGen and Synthesia. These work well for product explainers, service promos, course ads, SaaS videos, and short-form content. “Can you create cinematic AI videos with Veo 3 or Runway?” Yes. I can create cinematic AI video scenes, product-style visuals, lifestyle shots, story-based clips, and short-form videos using Veo 3, Runway, Sora, and other AI video tools. “Can you make videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Meta ads?” Yes. I create mobile-first videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Meta ad campaigns. Each video is formatted for short attention spans, fast viewing, and social media performance. “Can you make different versions for testing?” Yes. I can create multiple variations with different hooks, captions, openings, voiceovers, CTAs, and creative angles so you can test what works instead of relying on only one version. “Will it look too much like AI?” No. I use AI tools carefully, then edit the final video so it feels smooth, natural, and ready for real social media use. The viewer should focus on the message, not the tool used to create the video. WHO I WORK BEST WITH ✅ We will work well together if you are: → A brand that needs AI video ads for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or Meta. → An e-commerce business that needs short-form product videos or UGC-style ads. → A digital agency that needs a reliable AI video creator for client campaigns. → A coach or course creator who needs video ads that explain your offer clearly. → A SaaS company or app founder who needs short product demos or explainer videos. → A creator or personal brand that needs consistent, high-quality short-form video content. WHAT I DO NOT DO ❌ I do not handle long-form YouTube videos, live filming, paid ad account setup, social media management, logo design, or website design. I stay focused on AI video creation, short-form UGC ads, AI avatar videos, and social media video creatives so I can deliver better work in that area. If you need an AI video creator who can help turn your idea, product, or offer into a clean short-form video for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Meta, YouTube Shorts, or paid ads, send me a message. Tell me what you want to promote, who the audience is, and where the video will be used. I will come back with a clear creative direction and the best video angle for your project.

I build AI agents, workflow automation, and AI integrations that hold up on real data and real users. Full stack, Next.js and Python, Hermes, Claude and OpenAI APIs. Most Full Stack AI projects work in the first demo and then break the moment they hit messy inputs and daily use. That gap is what I build for. Retries, logging, error handling, and a human approval step where it matters, so the system runs without someone watching it. What I build AI agents and multi-agent workflows that take over repetitive work, with scheduling and human-in-the-loop approval so nothing important runs unchecked. Workflow and business process automation with n8n, Make, and custom Python, wired into your CRM, email, sheets, and databases. RAG systems and AI chatbots trained on your own documents, so answers come from your data instead of getting invented. AI integration into existing products. Claude and OpenAI APIs dropped into Next.js and Node.js apps without rebuilding what you already have. Full stack builds end to end. React and Next.js front end, Node.js or Python back end, PostgreSQL or Supabase underneath. Recent work Legal document processing system. Next.js with a GPT-4 RAG pipeline handling 500+ document operations a day. A review workflow that used to take six hours now finishes in about six minutes. Customer service AI platform. React, Node.js, LangChain. Resolves around 85% of incoming tickets without a human, which brought support costs down roughly 40%. Multi-tenant SaaS platform. React, NestJS, Supabase. 10K+ active users running at 99.9% uptime. E-commerce analytics dashboard. Next.js, Python, PostgreSQL. Real-time reporting that replaced a manual weekly export. How I work I scope the real problem before writing code. You get a working piece in the first few days instead of a long document, because it is faster to react to something running than to a plan. Clean handover at the end with documentation and a short walkthrough. You work with me directly. No account manager, no handoff to someone you have not spoken to, no explaining your project twice. I reply within a few hours and I say early when something is not going to work. Good fit if You have a repetitive process eating hours every week. You want an AI feature built into your product properly, not bolted on. You value clear scope, tested code, and steady updates. Less good fit if you need prompt tweaking on someone else's system. That is not the work I do. Core skills: AI Integration, AI Agents, Agentic AI, Workflow Automation, RAG, LangChain, n8n, Make, OpenAI API, Claude API, Claude Code, Next.js, Node.js, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Supabase. Send me the messy version of your process or your product problem and I will reply with a concrete approach and a rough timeline.

Hire the Best Gemini Developers

A Gemini developer builds applications using Google's powerful multimodal Gemini models. Businesses hire Gemini developers to create innovative solutions that can analyze and process text, images, audio, and video simultaneously. This allows for advanced features like sophisticated content generation, complex data analysis, and intelligent automation. 

Whether you need to build a new AI-powered product or enhance an existing one, Upwork can help you connect with expert freelance Gemini developers who can bring your vision to life.

What does a Gemini developer do?

A Gemini developer builds and integrates AI-powered applications using Google's Gemini AI models, bringing multimodal capabilities — text, image, video, audio, and code — to digital products. Their core responsibilities include:

  • Integrating the Gemini API into new or existing web and mobile applications to enable advanced AI features
  • Developing custom AI solutions for uses like content generation, complex data analysis, and business process automation
  • Optimizing prompts (prompt engineering) and fine-tuning models to align with specific business use cases and improve accuracy
  • Building multimodal applications that can natively analyze, process, and generate multiple content types within a single system.

Gemini developers primarily work with Python and the Gemini API, often leveraging the Google Cloud Platform for deployment. They build a wide range of applications, from intelligent chatbots and content creation tools to sophisticated data insights platforms.

How to hire a freelance Gemini developer on Upwork

Finding the right freelance Gemini developer on Upwork is straightforward. Here’s how to get started in four steps.

Step 1: Craft a targeted job post

A clear, targeted job post sets the stage for the rest of your hiring process; Upwork’s Job Post Generator can help you get started. You’ll want to signal the kind of work you need done, the range of skills you think may be needed, and other key factors that will let developers know if they should connect with you.

  • Describe the project clearly, for example, "Develop a conversational AI chatbot powered by Gemini Pro for customer service"
  • Specify must-have skills like Gemini API experience, Python proficiency, and multimodal AI knowledge
  • Include key deliverables, project scope, and your estimated timeline
  • Review our AI developer job description guide for more tips on attracting the right talent

Step 2: Filter and evaluate candidates

As you begin to receive proposals, consider the candidates’ background, their past successes, and their communication style. For more tips on hiring for AI roles, review best practices that apply across AI positions.

  • Use Upwork's filters to narrow your search by expertise level, hourly rate, and location
  • Look for Top Rated or Top Rated Plus talent badges, which indicate a strong history of success on the platform
  • Review portfolios for past AI/ML projects, especially those involving Gemini or similar large language models (LLMs)
  • Check client feedback for comments on communication, reliability, and technical skill

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Upwork offers a suite of tools so that you can communicate effectively and securely with your team, including video calls and messaging via text. While messages are great for asynchronous communication, video calls can offer you the peace of mind of a face-to-face (albeit virtual) interaction. Whichever mode you choose, in your discussions:

  • Ask about their process for integrating LLMs with open-ended questions like, "Can you walk me through a recent Gemini integration project?"
  • Discuss how they handle challenges like API rate limiting, error handling, and prompt optimization for cost and accuracy
  • Assess their problem-solving skills with a hypothetical scenario relevant to your project
  • Consider a brief, paid technical assessment to confirm their approach to a sample use case

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Once you’re comfortable that you’ve found a person with the right skills: 

  • Choose an engagement model that fits your project: fixed-price for clearly defined scopes or hourly for ongoing or exploratory work
  • Set clear milestones for larger projects to track progress, such as API setup, MVP development, testing, and final launch
  • Define your deliverables and timelines, and discuss your check-in frequency to ensure alignment

Benefits of hiring Gemini developers on Upwork

Upwork connects you with a global pool of talented Gemini developers, offering flexibility, security, and built-in tools to streamline your hiring process. Some of the benefits of connecting with freelancers through Upwork include:

  • Access to specialized talent. Find developers with specific expertise in Google's AI ecosystem, multimodal applications, and prompt engineering.

  • Built-in project management. Use Upwork's platform for secure messaging, time tracking, and payment processing.
  • Verified success. Filter for Top Rated, Top Rated Plus, and Expert-Vetted talent to quickly identify developers with a proven track record of high-quality work.

Frequently asked questions

Is hiring a Gemini developer worth it?

Yes, hiring a Gemini developer is often worth it, especially if your project requires cutting-edge, multimodal AI capabilities without the overhead of building a full-time, in-house AI team. Upwork enables hiring on a project or hourly basis, allowing your costs to scale with your project.

Can I hire a Gemini developer within 24 hours on Upwork?

Yes, you can hire a Gemini developer within 24 hours on Upwork, though you’ll want to take the time to do your due diligence and ensure the freelancer you choose has the skills you need. But the speed of hiring largely depends on the clarity and quality of your job post, and on the availability of developers with the skills you need. For the fastest results, create a detailed post, mark your job as urgent, and proactively invite top-matching developers from your search results to submit a proposal.

What skills should I look for in a Gemini developer?

The most important skills for a Gemini developer include strong AI/ML fundamentals, API integration experience, and familiarity with Google's AI ecosystem. Key technical skills to look for include:

  • Proficiency in Python, the primary language for the Gemini API
  • Direct experience with the Gemini API, Google Vertex AI, or similar LLM platforms
  • Knowledge of prompt engineering and model optimization techniques
  • Experience with RESTful API integration and cloud platforms (especially Google Cloud)
  • An understanding of how to build and apply multimodal AI solutions

Beyond technical skills, look for strong communication and the ability to translate business needs into technical requirements.

What types of projects are Gemini developers best suited for?

Gemini developers are best suited for projects that require sophisticated natural language processing, content generation, or multimodal AI capabilities. Common projects include building conversational AI and intelligent chatbots, creating content generation tools for text and code, developing systems for document processing and data extraction, and implementing personalized recommendation engines.

Is Google Gemini free for developers?

Google Gemini offers a free tier for developers with certain usage limits, but most production-level applications will require a paid plan based on API call volume. When hiring a Gemini developer, you’ll need to discuss estimated API costs as part of your total project budget. An experienced developer can help you optimize API calls to minimize these ongoing costs while maintaining application performance.

What makes Gemini a strong choice for AI development?

Gemini is a strong choice for AI development primarily because of its native multimodal capabilities, which allow a single model to analyze and process text, code, images, and audio. Its key advantages include long context windows for analyzing large documents, seamless integration with other Google services like Workspace and Google Cloud, and a range of model sizes (e.g., Flash for speed, Pro for advanced reasoning) that can be tailored to specific project needs.
