Jeroen Herczeg
Jeroen Herczeg is a senior software engineer who builds AI systems for production.
He has 20 years of engineering experience across software platforms, distributed systems, microservices, Kubernetes, and product teams. His current work focuses on retrieval-augmented generation, AI agent orchestration, and practical AI engineering.
Most recently, he built the orchestrator agent for the Google + BBC AI Agents demo at IBC2025, winner of the Broadcast Tech Innovation Award. His interest in AI goes back to 2017, when he completed Udacity’s Artificial Intelligence Nanodegree. Today, that work has evolved into a focus on production RAG systems and AI agent orchestration.
He writes about practical AI engineering at herczeg.be/blog and lives in Belgium.
