Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJens Kastensson is a seasoned CTO and software engineer with over two decades designing and delivering embedded, Windows, and web-based systems for major telecom and IoT customers. He founded ProKNX to build Aragon, a privacy-first, on-premise voice control device, combining embedded engineering with modern cloud-adjacent patterns. Jens has led end-to-end product work—from low-level embedded stacks at Ericsson and Enea to full-stack web frontends and NodeJS/Angular services—successfully shipping 50+ operator projects and commercial products. He brings deep protocol and standards expertise (OMA Open Connection Manager, TMCC SDK) and a knack for integrating voice, AR, and image recognition into practical home automation solutions. Based in Valbonne, he pairs disciplined engineering processes with hands-on implementation skills and a long track record of delivering on time and on budget. An unconventional thread in his background is early experience as a nuclear power plant startup engineer, reflecting strong systems-thinking and reliability focus.
