Meet
Ean Krenzin-Blank
My professional journey began in New York City's graphic design industry, where I developed
a strong foundation in creative problem-solving and visual communication. Recognizing the
opportunity to create the tools I was using, I transitioned into software engineering to
pursue innovation at a deeper level.
Through dedicated self-study and hands-on experience, I progressed from graphic design to
iOS development within the same organization. This background in design continues to inform
my approach to software development, ensuring that both aesthetics and functionality are
prioritized in every solution.
After five years in the California Bay Area working on cutting-edge virtual reality and
immersive technology projects, I've developed deep expertise in emerging technologies.
Leading technical teams and driving innovation in these fields has become my professional
passion and area of specialization.
With nearly a decade of experience across multiple platforms and programming languages,
I've developed a comprehensive understanding of software architecture and development
methodologies.
I currently reside in Nashville, Tennessee, where I balance my professional pursuits with
outdoor activities, international travel, and ongoing professional development. I remain
committed to staying at the forefront of technological innovation and seeking new
challenges that push the boundaries of what's possible.
