Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKai Kratz is a Research Software Engineer with nine years of experience building production-ready systems across research and industry, now contributing to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. He has a strong engineering background from roles at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Cisco, and biotech and database startups, blending hands-on development with project management on scientific and high-performance software like the JuPedSim core. Kai prefers measurable, automated solutions and is driven by seeing his work adopted—he quickly loses interest without real-world impact. Based in Cologne, he pairs a Master’s in Computer Science with a pragmatic focus on reproducibility and delivery, and he treats intuition skeptically in favor of data.
