Summary
Lex Vogelaar is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 12+ years building cloud-native, high-availability systems and scalable game backends, currently launching Mnemonic Devices to improve human memory through software. He combines deep expertise in Go, clustered microservices, Linux ops and SQL performance tuning with a long history of PHP and C# web work, having architected high-traffic portals and founded an open-source PHP framework. Lex is equally at home designing databases and standing up full stacks—load balancers, caching, and service orchestration—while keeping code reusable and maintainable. A trained music technologist and active composer/producer, he brings creative systems thinking from audio and game development into learning-product design. Based in Maastricht, he pairs startup grit with hands-on engineering, often drawing on his hobbyist background in mountain biking and indie game creation to test ideas in the real world.
