Soundgena is the unique convergence of 90 years of combined experience in inventing and commercializing globally adopted audio technologies. As Founder and CTO, I am exciting to be unleashing ideas, concepts and prototypes that have been simmering in my mind and lab!

After a stint in the CTO seat getting a few things up, I have migrated to focus on IP and deep tech and advisory to help the company in the early stages. Working closely with the founders and key stakeholders behind the scenes. We are on a mission to create a life integrated product with support, training, coaching and hardware as a service to offer orientation and mobility for the blind. The core tech is edge AI for visual perception, data integration, situational inference and perceptually guided informative Augmented Reality in Audio.Keep an eye out. We will be hiring and raising. This is the job and mission I was built for. Reach out to get involved.
