Summary
Anne Van Rossum is a seasoned deep-tech CTO and serial founder with 14+ years building AI-driven embedded systems, robotics, and smart-home products from firmware to cloud. Currently leading Ingy, she leverages lighting-based infrastructure for indoor localization and analytics, drawing on prior experience founding Crownstone and DoBots where she commercialized presence-aware automation and autonomous-robot "brains." With a PhD in mathematics and a background spanning VHDL, TensorFlow, SLAM, and variational Bayesian methods, she blends rigorous research with pragmatic product delivery. Known for reverse-engineering creativity and supervising both industry experts and graduate research, she publishes technical writing and maintains a prolific GitHub (mrquincle) that reflects decades of hands-on prototyping. Unusually for a CTO, she remains deeply involved in low-level firmware and sensor fusion while scaling consumer-facing systems for comfort and energy savings.
