About
I'm Emil Herzberg — a design engineer based in Hamburg. I graduated top of my class in design (B.A., 1.2 with distinction) and am completing my B.Sc. in Computer Science (1.7, 150/180 ECTS).
This combination shapes how I work. I don't just write code — I think about what should be built, for whom, and why. Then I design it, build it, and ship it. Two apps live in both App Stores. My largest project has 170+ Python modules with enforced architecture boundaries.
I'm particularly deep in AI/LLM systems — 14+ providers hands-on, multi-stage pipelines with verification loops, and autonomous agent architectures. Fluent in German, English (C2), Russian, and Ukrainian.
