Founder @Krellian

Newcastle upon Tyne, GB

I incorporated Krellian Ltd. in 2020 to build commercial smart building solutions around the WebThings IoT platform (webthings.io), which some ex-colleagues and I spun out of Mozilla as an independent open source project. This includes the development of a commercial Web of Things gateway, and a cloud service which builds a digital twin of a building to model how it\'s being used and identify potential optimisations.Krellian has participated in multiple startup accelerators and won grant funding from the Ignite Accelerator, Sunderland IoT Accelerator and Innovate UK.
