Hi there, I'm Kai!

You can also call me...

I'm an always evolving, free-minded software engineer, data scientist and maker from Aachen.

I'm very passionate about...

Researching how to improve human-to-human online communication, most recently via Reciprocal Recommender Systems – for finding the best people to connect to.
Creating user-friendly and high-quality Open-Source software (most of the time,FOSS).
Realizing solutions for a decentralized web with less intermediaries – for more freedom.
Tinkering with electronic stuff, creating a physical representation of my ideas with 3D printing, learning and sharing how to fix and customize anything – for less waste and more fun.

Sponsoring

If you like any of the visions above and below, you're welcome to become a day one sponsor.

Chaos

In my master's thesis, I took a deep dive into the data science world and the emerging field of Reciprocal Recommender Systems (RRS) which enable Human-to-Human recommendations.
As a result, I engineeredChaos, a first of its kind framework that aims to build a solid bridge between the research and development departments of RRS.

You can now...

Read the thesis online to learn more about its theory and RRS in general
Experiment with Chaos to experience novel approaches for connecting humans!

Osprey Delight

Osprey Delight is aHugo theme that aims to kick-start artists' online presences.
It's a clutter-free portfolio that ensures everyone finds your awesome work. As a high-performance static website, it runs anywhere with minimal resources, giving freedom and independence to you and delight to your visitors.

Recently, I teamed up with the fantasticProtonaut who produces Indie Rock and who now has a great website powered by the theme with a unique color scheme.

Hugo Mods

Hugo Mods is what enables your static Hugo website to power-up.
See some of the first modules athugo-mods, but also make sure to check outthe fantastic website which is built by the modules themselves, double-functioning as showcase.

@kdevo's goal is to earn $200 per month

Your support would make it possible that I only need to pay half the rent of my apartment. Reaching this goal allows me to stay more independent and focus at least 20% more on my FOSS projects.
