SOFTWARE ENGINEER & CO-FOUNDER
Based in the Netherlands
Fourth-year Software Engineering student at HvA, software developer at Anchiano and co-founder of Signaly.
I build practical software across mobile, web and AI, with a focus on products that solve real problems.
01 / SELECTED WORK
From production applications
to products of my own.
In progress · Startup
From finding the right companies to starting the right conversations. An AI-powered lead discovery and outreach platform.
One of three co-founders, alongside Thomas Boersma and Andreas Melini. I contribute to a product that discovers relevant prospects, researches their needs, scores leads and prepares personalized outreach.
Professional work · Anchiano
Practical tools for the people looking after our public spaces. Production software built around maps, routes and planning.
At Anchiano I work across the Flutter frontend and Spring Boot backend, contributing to routes, maps, planning and location-based functionality in professional production software.
Completed · HvA project
Exploring Amsterdam through the story of Johan Cruyff. A mobile tour connecting places, routes and multimedia.
Developed for an Amsterdam-related client/project. Includes map navigation, GPS/proximity tracking, text, audio, video and photo content, and offline-first user progress.
In progress · Responsible AI
Making machine learning easier to understand. An interactive explorer of how input features change a decision tree.
Users experiment with feature selection and feature engineering to explore changes in predictions, model structure and performance. Update the technologies as the frontend develops.
Project visuals are illustrations. Product screenshots coming soon.
02 / ABOUT
I'm Kai, a software engineering student from the Netherlands, studying in Amsterdam.
I enjoy building software that solves real problems, whether that's a mobile application, backend service or AI-powered product.
At Anchiano, I've gained experience working on production software with Flutter, Spring Boot and spatial data. With Signaly, I've experienced another side of development: building our own product, testing ideas with users and improving both the technology and the business around it.
I'm currently exploring machine learning and Responsible AI as part of my studies, including the group project Smallest Sufficient Model.
03 / JOURNEY
In the final phase of HBO-ICT Software Engineering, currently following the Responsible Applied AI studio.
Started Signaly with Thomas Boersma and Andreas Melini, developing an AI-powered lead discovery and outreach product.
Continued after my internship, contributing to production software with Flutter, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL and PostGIS.
Worked on mobile and backend software and researched native versus Flutter development.
Completed the propedeuse and continued with the Software Engineering track.
