Additional Speaker Details

Using publicly available information we constructed an analysis to help you get a feel for this speaker before deciding to attend their session.

Schmid leads AI developer experience/relations at Google DeepMind (previously Tech Lead at Hugging Face) and is one of the clearest practical voices on building agents with Gemini - expect concrete, code-forward guidance and the hard-won mental-model shifts (probabilistic vs deterministic, evaluating instead of unit-testing) that trip up experienced engineers moving into agent development.
