Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStijn Kuipers is a seasoned lead designer and developer based in Amsterdam with 15 years of experience building realtime audio, video and game systems, bespoke toolchains, and physical prototyping. As head of This Is Not Rocket Science and CEO of Void BV he blends hands-on programming with consultancy-grade simulation, visualization and data-mining tools to turn fuzzy problems into actionable designs. His work spans low-level audio/visual algorithms, embedded electronics and tooling—evidenced by contributions to GerberTools for PCB file processing—rather than standard web stacks. Known for unconventional perspectives, he frequently solves problems by reframing them, whether composing interactive experiences or automating fabrication workflows. Comfortable across code, hardware and creative production, he’s the go-to engineer when projects demand both technical depth and idiosyncratic thinking.
