Summary
Chris Chandler is a Principal Engineer and founder with 17+ years of hands-on experience designing and shipping hardware-software products, rapid prototypes, and large-scale engineering systems. He built and led cross-disciplinary teams at companies from startups to public firms—owning everything from firmware, 3D modeling, and manufacturing to cloud-based monitoring, ML pipelines, and device attestation. Known as a "get shit done" engineer, he has a track record of turning research (systems biology, protein DL) and entrepreneurial projects into productionized, market-ready products. Based in New York, he combines deep technical breadth with operational leadership that scales to 1k+ engineer environments, and also pursues private research and humanitarian advocacy outside the office. An uncommon strength is his ability to move fluidly between low-level hardware detail and high-level architecture while keeping supply chain and manufacturing realities front and center.
