Summary
Jeff Kunzelman is a seasoned product and technology leader with 12+ years of recent experience and a decades-long technical pedigree building firmware, web, and mobile platforms. He has founded multiple startups, led engineering organizations from small teams to hundreds, and served as CTO at companies like Arcules and POPin where he shipped cloud-native, microservice-driven products and intelligent video/analytics solutions. Jeff’s unique blend of low-level firmware expertise (architect of PhoenixBIOS 4.x) and mobile-first consumer product design informs pragmatic architectures that perform in harsh real-world conditions. He’s equally hands-on—contributing code, designing APIs, and driving product vision—while mentoring the next generation as a UCI speaker and judge. A maker and occasional farmer, his creative interests span art and sound, and he brings that multidisciplinary curiosity to resilient, user-centered systems.
