About Me

I'm an entrepreneur with background in software engineering and law.

I founded two startups: Roomstorm and Winding Tree, as well as Travel Tech Con, a conference for startups and software engineers from the travel industry.

While looking for the next worthy challenge, I'm learning Rust, reading, and making toys for my kids.

In my spare time, I like backpacking in the mountains, playing music, diving, and piloting small planes.

I no longer use any social media (including LinkedIn). Contact me via [email protected] (public key).

GitHub: kvakes.

Projects

Winding Tree

Winding Tree was an attempt to create a B2B travel platform based on Ethereum. Winding Tree partners included Lufthansa, Air New Zealand, Nordic Choice Hotels, Citizen M, Swissport, Air France KLM, and Ernst & Young.

Roomstorm

Roomstorm is a website that helps passengers from delayed and canceled flights to find a hotel quickly (and cheaply!)

Travel Tech Con

While I lived in San Francisco, I organized a community of travel startups and other organizations that think startups will change the future of travel. Goal: enabling collaboration in travel.
