Hi, I'm Michael Kunze, a startup product engineer based in London with over a decade of experience shipping end-to-end features from idea to production in small, multi-hat teams. I enjoy owning ambiguous problems, designing UX, and building cohesive frontend and backend systems that users actually love. I have an extensive background in conversational AI, NLP tooling, and hybrid mobile apps, and I thrive in early-stage environments where continuous learning and collaboration are key. I’m comfortable picking up new tools quickly and collaborating with non-technical stakeholders to ship features that meet real user needs.…Hi, I'm Michael Kunze, a startup product engineer based in London with over a decade of experience shipping end-to-end features from idea to production in small, multi-hat teams.
