Ben van der Heiden

Full Stack AI Engineer

Currently focused on AI agents and large-scale data. I'm a curious, pragmatic builder who cares deeply about developer experience. At the end of the day, I just want to tackle hard problems, build good software that people actually use, and have fun doing it with a great team.

Projects

RDFS Renderer

A work-in-progress RDFS editor designed to bridge the gap between complex graph visualization and strict data integrity. By leveraging Oxigraph, G6 and SolidJS, I’m building a system that can navigate massive datasets through two distinct lenses: a dedicated mode for ontology modeling and a separate workflow for individual data. My goal is to ensure that every edit, whether at the schema or instance level, remains fully compliant with the RDFS specification and ontology.

Graaf

A graph visualization tool built with Cytoscape and SolidJS, originally designed to map complex project management tasks and their dependencies. This project served as my sandbox for graph UI/UX; I eventually paused development to apply those insights toward building the more technically ambitious RDFS-renderer.
