Summary
👤
SeniorKris Linquist is a seasoned software engineering manager and principal engineer with 13 years of experience building and scaling IoT and cloud platforms, currently leading Verkada’s Access Control Command team. He founded and architected Stringify’s integration platform, scaled Comcast’s AWS IoT Core implementation that now powers millions of devices, and has led engineering teams of up to a dozen across web, mobile, and backend.

An active mentor and talent developer, he also contributes to open-source ecosystems and has a track record of creating production-ready SDKs and data models that anticipate industry standards like Matter. Based in San Jose, he brings startup founder grit plus enterprise-scale execution and a knack for turning complex interoperability problems into reliable, user-focused services.
