Hi, I'm Kai.
I’m a software engineer in Berlin. I build the infrastructure behind creative software: the platforms, pipelines, and tooling between creative professionals and what they make. I’ve done this at SoundCloud (external link) and Native Instruments (external link), and independently for games and audio.
If you’d like to work together, email me at mail@kaikuehne.net or read my CV.
Now
Working on Rhythm and Goose (external link) with Emily Bryner (external link), a rhythm game approaching a Steam demo. Also continuing work on Chordel, a synthesizer and training tool for the Ableton Push 2.

Rhythm and Goose (external link)
A rhythm game built with a composer partner, approaching a Steam demo. Features a custom FMOD-Godot plugin in C++ running on its own audio clock, and a pipeline that generates levels directly from audio timing data.
