Summary
Kelvin Chan is a CTO and Waterloo-trained mechatronics engineer with 10 years of multidisciplinary experience spanning embedded systems, computer vision, deep learning, and full-stack web development across Canada, the US, and Hong Kong. He has moved from hands-on R&D and prototyping—authoring an internal patent application and building HMI and hardware-in-the-loop controllers—to leading perception and AI projects for automotive systems at Magna and now steering technology strategy at Maneva. Kelvin blends low-level embedded expertise (CAN, CAPL, Simulink) with modern ML and web stacks (Node.js, Angular) and a history of rapid prototyping and shipping production-ready solutions. Comfortable in both research and product delivery, he has a track record of turning novel ideas into practical applications and developer tools. Based in Waterloo with stints in Amsterdam development communities, he pairs technical depth with a global perspective—and an offbeat passion for penguins and good food.
