# Kai Brokering > Founder of VoiceOS (YC X25). If you want to reach me, find me on X Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kaibrokering Hi, I’m Kai 👋 I’m a full-stack engineer focused on building user-friendly products that make everyday life easier. I’m especially interested in how Voice AI can be used in practical, helpful ways. As a co-founder of a Voice AI startup, I’m always looking for ways to integrate this technology more naturally into how we communicate. I grew up in Tokyo and moved to the U.S. at 15. Living between two cultures has shaped how I think and work, and it’s something I bring into every project I take on. Always happy to connect—especially if you’re working on Voice AI or anything that blends tech with real-world impact. ## Work Experience ### Founder & Full-Stack Engineer @ VoiceOS Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area VoiceOS: Building a voice-driven operating layer for productivity. ### Founder & Full-Stack Engineer @ VoiceOS Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco Bay Area RcruitOS: Built an AI voice-agent hiring platform under contract with Fortune 500 companies to automate high-volume phone interviews. ### Founder & iOS App Developer @ VoiceOS Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco Bay Area NuPhone: Designing and developing an AI receptionist app for iOS that’s available 24/7 to answer missed calls, qualify leads, and schedule appointments. ### Founder & Full-Stack Engineer @ VoiceOS Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area Voice API: Designed and developed an API dashboard that enables engineers to efficiently create and deploy voice AI agents.
