Philipp Schmid is a staff engineer for developer experience and developer relations at Google DeepMind, based in Nuremberg, Germany. He works on Gemini and Gemma - his X bio puts him on the Gemini API and agents - and describes his job as building the company's first dedicated AI DevRel/DevX team. Before joining Google DeepMind in 2025, Schmid spent about four years at Hugging Face as a technical and engineering lead, running cloud and hardware partnerships with AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean and Dell, and helping build products such as Hugging Face Inference Endpoints. AWS named him a Machine Learning Hero in June 2021; his own site adds that he was the first from Germany to hold the title. Through his blog philschmid.de and his posts on X and LinkedIn, Schmid publishes tutorials and technical breakdowns on fine-tuning, deploying and building with open and closed large language models.
