Chris Piekarski is the Co-Founder and CTO of LuxTronic, an AI robotics company building intelligent inspection and automation systems for high-volume manufacturing. An embedded systems engineer and inventor, he has worked across the software stack—from assembly language to Kotlin—including a decade developing the Android operating system. He now leads LuxTronic’s engineering efforts through the renaissance of software development, bringing advances in AI into systems that perceive and act in the physical world. His approach is grounded in firsthand experience: he designed, built, and deployed the company’s mass-pack inspection technology, writing code beside a live production line.

A father, outdoor enthusiast, and avid mountaineer, Chris has climbed all 58 of Colorado’s named fourteeners and Mount Kilimanjaro and is training for Denali. He has taken his kids camping in 49 states and to 52 national parks, committing code along the way from some of the nation’s most remote areas. He has also rafted the Grand Canyon and explored beneath the surface as an advanced open water diver—from the Galápagos Islands to World War II wreck diving in Guadalcanal.
