Meet
Ean Krenzin-Blank
My journey began in New York City's graphic design scene, where I quickly found a passion
for creativity. However, I aimed higher—I wanted to build the tools I used, leading me to
transition into software engineering.
Innovation became my driving force.
Committed to mastering coding skills in my spare time, I soon advanced to an iOS developer
role within the same company. My design roots continue to enrich my software solutions, blending
aesthetics with functionality.
Now, I specialize in emerging technologies like virtual reality. The hands-on experience of
shaping this technology is a constant source of excitement.
It's as if I've finally found the missing piece.
Nearly a decade in, spanning various platforms and languages, my initial doubts have given
way to confidence.
I live in scenic California with my fiancé and our pets. My life outside of work includes daily
runs on California's trails, global travel, and a commitment to continuous learning.
I'm always looking for the next challenge.
