Mathijs Vogelzang is a seasoned software entrepreneur and engineer with 16 years of experience building products that scale, from a PhD-backed clinical decision support system to consumer-facing mobile infrastructure. As CEO and co-founder of AppTornado (AppBrain), he grew a small team across two locations and helped power apps reaching over 100 million monthly unique Android users. He combines deep technical chops from roles at Google and startups with academic rigor from a PhD in cardiology, bringing a data-driven, systems-oriented approach to product problems. Mathijs also explores developer tooling, having co-founded HighFlux to simplify git workflows, and contributes hands-on as a “code monkey” across several engineering projects. Based in the Randstad, he blends research-grade discipline with operator-level experience in growth, monetization, and developer experience. An unexpected thread through his career is applying medical decision-making frameworks to software product design, turning complex feedback loops into practical automation.
