Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Hiszpanski is an engineering leader with 11 years of experience specializing in low-latency video, embedded systems, and applied AI, currently leading Live Streaming at Verkada. He founded Lanikai Labs and built AlohaRTC, a WebRTC platform for teleoperation and smart devices, whose engineering team was acquired by Verkada—demonstrating both product traction and technical depth. His background spans building scalable cloud backends and deep-learning pipelines for smart cameras (Kuna), to designing neural nets and video monitoring systems at Tesla, grounded in an EE/MS from Caltech. Known for shipping secure, cross-platform real-time video solutions under tough network and hardware constraints, he combines systems-level engineering with hands-on machine vision expertise. An underrated asset is his firmware-to-cloud perspective, cultivated across DoD, JPL, and startup roles, which helps bridge embedded constraints with large-scale streaming architectures.
