Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarian Kannwischer is a founder and CTO with a decade of hands-on experience in robotics, control systems, and embedded software, currently building Rapidata—an "API to humans" startup based in Zurich. He holds an MSc in Robotics Systems and Control from ETH Zürich and a BSc in Electrical Engineering from TUM, with an exchange at the University of Sydney, blending rigorous academic grounding with practical product delivery. His background spans battery‑to‑cloud work: from simulating and optimizing DC-DC converters with MPC and genetic algorithms at Infineon to perception work at ANYbotics and low‑level embedded system development on ARM Cortex MCUs. Marian combines research-level signal and control theory (taught as a TA) with pragmatic automation skills—Python-driven test benches and NI-VISA instrument control—to accelerate development cycles. As a founder he translates complex control and perception problems into API-first product thinking, unusually comfortable moving between firmware, simulation, and cloud-facing interfaces. Colleagues would note his ability to automate experiments and extract stable control regimes, turning noisy physical systems into predictable software behavior.
