Senior🎓
Top SchoolAri Krupnik is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with nine years of recent focused experience building embedded and cloud-connected products, from shipping Kickstarter-backed IoT film gear to porting ArduPilot for military-grade UAVs. He combines hands‑on firmware and systems work (ARM/C, Python, Linux) with proven people leadership—hiring, mentoring and running distributed teams across the US and Argentina. Ari excels at taking products from concept to customer, driving devops and CI/CD discipline in startups and enterprises alike, and has led engineering organizations at Tesla, Allstate and early-stage DER API provider Derapi. An active contributor to the ArduPilot project and its wiki, he blends low-level device expertise with practical scripting and documentation improvements that enable real-world deployments. Now based in Jerusalem, he’s exploring where his cross-domain experience in embedded systems, cloud APIs and product delivery can have the biggest impact locally.
