SENSITRONICS - Key Persons
Aaron joined Sensitronics in mid-2015 following more than 16 years as a software engineer and engineering team lead in Microsoft's Windows organization, where he specialized in software distribution and data compression technologies. A lifelong technophile and technical hobbyist, Aaron found Sensitronics to be an ideal melting pot for his software and electronics interests, and he looks forward to sharing this enthusiasm with our customers through his work as an application engineer. Eager to wear as many hats as will fit on his head, Aaron can also be found designing and implementing test fixtures, maintaining the Sensitronics website, and supporting the prototyping efforts of our other engineers.
Since 2010, Chris has worked at Sensitronics primarily in the area of firmware & PCB design for client prototypes and sensor test fixtures. With a mixed professional background in wireless sensor systems and web/database development, he is comfortable juggling a range of additional tasks at Sensitronics, which include software development, website design, and technical writing. Chris spends his spare time in the great outdoors as well as the great indoors, and enjoys solving various math / computational puzzles when time allows. He does not enjoy crossword puzzles as much; they are too hard. Chris graduated from Western Washington University with a BS in Electronic Engineering Technology.
Job Titles:

Franklin Eventoff began developing a series of musical instrument controllers in 1972. Five years later, with the goal of making electronic musical instruments more expressive, he invented the force-sensing resistor (FSR; trademark of Interlink). By 1978, his first musical product, The Magical Musical Thing, had been licensed to Mattel Toys. Three million were sold. The following year, the XYZ digitizer pad was invented. Many other force-sensing inventions would follow.
