Boris van der Kruk · AI Engineer
I ship real products in weeks, not quarters.
Solo, with AI doing the typing and me doing the thinking.
I'm Boris. Everything below is playable, so judge the work, not the claim.

AI Running Coach
My startup, in progress. It plans training with an LLM, reads my runs off Strava, and puts a guardrail engine over the output. I was test subject one. First jog to a 53 km ultra in six months, twelve minutes ahead of my best friend.

Bongaclang
2026Engine
A chess engine I wrote from scratch. It lives on Lichess 24/7 and opens by walking its own king into the open.
Medbot
2025Client AI
Medbot, a medical AI for pharmacists. It answers medication questions with cited sources and stays careful when it isn't sure.
Murmur

Social listening for housing associations. It filters the noise and flags what matters, so the right people hear it early.
Coffee

A Windows tray app that keeps my PC awake while long AI jobs run, with a steaming-cup UI I fussed over.
Chain
2026Product
A desktop focus app I use daily. A tiny floor keeps your streak alive through your worst day.
About
I own what I ship
My first year of uni, ChatGPT landed. Most people shrugged. I saw that work I couldn't do was suddenly buildable, and swapped my software degree for an AI one.
So I go looking for walls. I bought a dead motorcycle sight unseen and got it running. A friend bet I couldn't reach an ultra, so I ran one.
