Kristian Lauszus is a Principal Software Engineer and electrical engineer with 14 years’ experience designing embedded control systems, firmware and low-voltage electronics, currently leading software for flying boats at Candela. He combines hands-on embedded development (Arduino cores, Kalman filters, PCAN interfaces) with full-stack and DevOps work on cross-platform UI frameworks like Kivy and Android apps. Kristian has founded and led hardware startups, shipped flight-grade navigation and guidance systems, and personally wrote the control, UI and electrical software stack for production vehicles. His open-source contributions span practical device support and tooling—improving Arduino cores, real-time graphing on Android, and Raspberry Pi wheel builds—demonstrating attention to cross-platform compatibility and CI. Colleagues describe him as an engineer who moves effortlessly between low-level device interrupts and user-facing applications, and who deliberately bridges R&D prototypes to robust products. Outside work he pursues applied control challenges—recently turning that expertise toward electrically powered hydrofoil craft.

TKJElectronics/KalmanFilter
Aug 2012 - Mar 2017
This is a Kalman filter used to calculate the angle, rate and bias from from the input of an accelerometer/magnetometer and a gyroscope.
Role in this project:Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:38 commits, 3 PRs, 9 pushes in 4 years 7 months
Contributions summary:Kristian primarily contributed to the example code for a Kalman filter implementation within an Arduino environment. Their contributions included modifying and updating the example code, improving I2C communication, and adding functionality to read variance values. The user also addressed code formatting and made several bug fixes, including an important one in the Kalman filter calculation, demonstrating a focus on the practical implementation of sensor fusion and data filtering techniques.
