I'm Na'aman Hirschfeld β a Berlin-based startup founder, freelance software engineer, and open-source enthusiast.
I'm a co-founder and CEO of kreuzberg.dev β building a polyglot document intelligence engine with a Rust core. On the freelance side, I work with companies like Armis Security and fincom.co.
I code in Rust, Python, Go, TypeScript, and whatever else the problem calls for.
My main focus. Kreuzberg is a fast, polyglot document intelligence engine that extracts structured data from 75+ document formats using streaming parsers and built-in OCR. Available for Rust, Python, Ruby, Java, Go, PHP, Elixir, C#, TypeScript β or via CLI, REST API, and MCP server.
