Founder and CEO
David
David is an electronics engineer specializing in digital systems, FPGAs, and image processing. He's worked at such companies as Delta-Q Technologies, Verisante, Mistywest, and Signal Laboratories. His passion for high-speed imaging began in 2006 after seeing the cool things Mythbusters were doing. Unable to afford a high-speed camera at the time, he set out to build his own, which ultimately lead to Chronos.
In his spare time, he makes science and engineering videos on his Youtube channel tesla500.
ENGINEERING
Engineering Manager
Sanjay
Sanjay's passion for all things tech comes from his high school days of building robots for the FIRST Robotics Competition. He went on to pursue a degree in Computer Engineering and has worked in Silicon Valley, as well as on his own startup ideas. When he's not busy bending software to his will, he enjoys cooking plant-based meals and going on road trips.
Electronics Engineer
Kurt
We think Kurt might have sneaked in when the bay doors were open one day. He came fully prepared with a tool kit and smile. Kurt is the calm in the sea of large personalities. His lends his focus to the healing bench making test jigs and wrestling with RMAs.
When not working for the Man (David?), Kurt works on his own electronics projects such as mechanical keyboards!
Software Engineer
Ben
Ben is a hobbyist mathematician, with special interests in symplectic geometry and analytical number theory. Particle physics and quantum field theory are also his favourite subjects for reading pleasure, among other things. With a diverse interest as his, Ben will always be passionate in studying and finding new ways to solve problems.
As a member of the team at Kron, Ben enjoys writing code in embedded systems, bridging the gap between the user interface and the underlying hardware. A naive implementation for a functionality is only the first step, the art is in the continuous push for improvement.
Hardware / R&D Lead
Nicholas
Nicholas has a background developing robotics, embedded systems, and industrial control systems. He thrives on tackling challenging problems with technology that's always changing and has the expertise to design and tie together software, electronics, and hardware. He believes that there are thousands of ways to solve a problem, but the best ideas often take the most work to find and are only obvious after you’ve put in the work. Nicholas is both a movie nerd and the inventor of the first fully functional CNC sewing machine (that we know of). If you can't find him, check the basement; he's probably tinkering with a robot or rewatching old horror movies.
Electronics Engineer
Ken
During his youth, Ken was fascinated in how parts could come together to create beautiful creations. This leads to him graduating as an engineer. To build his experience, he starts his career in a 2-Ways radio design company. Currently, PCB design is now his new grounds, but still loves to build plastic models during his free time.
FPGA Engineer
Maikon
When not working with digital cameras, image processing, and FPGAs, Maikon (Michael but ending with on), likes to enjoy the outdoors and work out. He enjoys the high processing computing aspect of his work, together with heterogeneous platforms to solve problems from the day-by-day tasks. For fun he likes to talk and learn about politics, math, AI, tech, camping, hiking, dry jokes, and movies/tv shows above 80% on rotten tomatoes.
Senior FPGA Engineer
Phoenix
Before making cameras, Phoenix made RF ASIC and 4G/5G cell phone signal generator. Hardware and software design is his life-long passion (ask him about creating custom MCU assembly instruction set!).
When not making cameras, Phoenix enjoy being a movie and history buff. His favourite pastime include board games, poker, karaoke, outdoor activities, and finding stay new ways to stay ahead of AIs.
Software Engineer
Chelly
Having background in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chelly is always passionate about coding beautiful software. Also, she is interested in all kinds of new things in tech, creation and design. So after earning her master's degree, Chelly decided to participate in real industry production of embedded software to see what she can do with all knowledge she has learned.
After work, Chelly is a fan of movies and music from different countries. Ask her about these, she may tell you something interesting.
Software Engineer
Dino
Has a background in developing software for the VFX industry. At Kron moved from generating images to processing them. Finds great satisfaction in introducing clarity to complex projects and complex code. After work might be seen with a camera in his hand.
OPERATIONS
General Manager
Ed
Ed is a former technician, designer, manager and operations consultant that helps to keep Kron pointed in the right direction. Having worked for companies such as PDE, Xantrex, Omnex, Whitewater West, and 3DS Design Services, he has developed a broad base of knowledge to guide emerging companies into becoming industry leaders. His technology interests started early with the fabrication of tube amplifiers (yes, tubes!) and has developed into a passion for the design and manufacture of cutting-edge innovative technology products such as the Chronos cameras.
While not at the office, Ed likes to hike the local mountains, tackle ultra-distance cycling events, or listen to tunes on his home-brewed audiophile equipment.
