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
Technical Product 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 Technologist
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.
Mechanical Technologist
Param
Passion for photography and geekiness about tech brought Param to Kron. He came to Canada thriving to increase his engineering knowledge by pursuing a masters degree in mechatronics and has a background in mechanical designing, production and automation. At Kron he designs cameras / camera components as he always wanted to use his skills towards creating something. He spends his leisure time working on robotics projects, enjoying street photography and reading books.
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
Tommy
Instead of swimming in SSD drives, Tommy is now diving in headfirst into the world of high-speed cameras. He hopes to be a part of creating the next "Hit Camera" and be able to say "I did that". Outside of work, he enjoys playing sports such as golf and badminton or staying at home and play games.
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
Tabatha
She is the crazy person who runs around in the shadows, writing emails in the early mornings. Her background includes chef, network admin, and cat wrangler. Jack of all trades that never seems to remember to go home. If you ever email into info@ at 6 am and get an email back in less than 10 seconds… it’s probably Tabatha.

Executive Assistant
Stephanie
Stephanie completed her BFA Honors in Film while working as a photographer and music video director. She is a geek for in-camera special effects which keep her interested in the development of motion-picture imaging. Open to trying new things, her curious and helpful demeanor has led her to spark new interests in machining, colour grading, automation, and cat-sitting (even though she’s very allergic to cats, she just really loves them).
SUPPLY CHAIN
Supply Chain Manager
Chris
Chris is busy using his experience in supply chain as a Material Coordinator, Purchaser, and Planner to support and improve processes at Kron Technologies.
His Bachelors of Science in Honours Biophysics helps him to think critically and produce results on a deadline. He enjoys volunteering and taking on lead roles for local conventions to give back to his community.
Chris’s strengths in logic, details, and organization are also used to make puns. Don’t get him started.
Warehouse Assistant
Kassidy
Kassidy moved from Saskatoon a few months after graduating high school and asked for a job helping out around the warehouse. She started out with cleaning and building boxes, but now handles most of the shipments, deliveries and inventory. You can usually find headphone, doodles and coffee at her work station. She’s not sure of what she wants to do in the future but hopes to continue to grow with her art.
PRODUCTION
Production Assistant
Ryan
After spending 5 years in security, Ryan wanted a change in pace and found a newish start-up was the place to be. Now he spends his time assembling cameras and looking for deals on hardware.
Production Assistant
Eli
Eli is like a magical elf that converts stuff into things. When he's not converting stuff into cameras for Krontech, he keeps himself busy converting stuff into guitar pedals, curry, and prog metal.
SALES AND MARKETING
Sales & Marketing Manager
Thomas
From an aerospace engineering background, Thomas has already lived in 4 different countries and speaks 4 languages fluently. He has worked for the automotive industry in the US as a sales engineer. Crazy about nature sports and new challenges, Thomas moved to Vancouver right before joining the herd as the only non-Canadian citizen at that time. You can definitely find him at social events, conferences and workshops in town during his spare time, where he will share his own business ideas.
Sales & Marketing Associate
Sebastian
With a background in film production, Sebastian has over a decade of experience on various commercial and feature film productions as a technician. When not nerding out about camera gear or lighting rigs, he spends his time with his wife and cats or fly fishing one of many rivers that BC has to offer.
Field Application Engineer
Mostafa
Mostafa moved to Canada to pursue his dream of becoming a Mechatronic Systems Engineer. He soon picked up his passion for the tech world and mainly startups. He joined Kron Technologies because he wants to contribute to this world by making high-speed cameras accessible to different industries. Outside work, he spends his time on 3D printing, Martial Arts and travelling across Canada and the world. He also likes to socialize with people on various topics such as new technologies, cultures, languages and you name it.
