Ben Coudon, Electrical Engineer
Graduated from: University of Maryland, College Park
Hometown: Fallston, MD
Why did you pick Key Tech? I was super excited by the opportunity to work on both design and hands-on testing of high-tech electronics for devices that are having a positive impact on the world.
What do you like best about Key Tech? Every person (and dog) has been super welcoming and helpful while I was transitioning from school to a real engineering role.
Favorite project work so far? One of the first things that I worked on was debugging and optimizing a power supply circuit for one of our projects, and since then I have been able to take those learnings and apply them to a PCB I designed for another project.
What are you excited about in the next year? I’m looking forward to seeing things that I have designed get tested, iterated on, and eventually seeing the devices that I have worked on make it to the market.
If you could have an unlimited supply of something what would that be? Breads and bagels
Ian Dansey, Electrical Engineer
Graduated from: University of Virginia
Hometown: Hampton, Virginia
Why did you pick Key Tech? I picked Key Tech for the opportunity to work on such interesting and diverse projects and continue developing new skills. The culture and people also feel like a great fit.
What do you like best about Key Tech? It is truly remarkable the projects that Key Tech accomplishes (not to mention within our typical timelines) while still maintaining such a relaxed, fun, and supportive environment for the people here.
Favorite project work so far? Helping to create the system and electrical architecture for a new full-scale development project. It’s exciting to be in the early phases of a project where there are so many opportunities for creative thinking and conceptual brainstorming.
What are you excited about in the next year? Hopefully getting to lead the electrical design of a new project.
If you could have an unlimited supply of something what would that be? Bike parts
Omar Hussain, Computer Engineer
Graduated from: University of Maryland, College Park
Hometown: Columbia, MD
Why did you pick Key Tech? I picked Key Tech primarily because I wanted my work to have a positive impact on the world. Because Key Tech develops products that are generally medical, I know that I can be proud of the work that I do. I am passionate about contributing to products that help people.
What do you like best about Key Tech? What I like best about Key Tech is how friendly everyone is and the sense of community. It is very easy to talk to and get to know those around me. I am comfortable asking for help from others that I have barely spoken to. In a short amount of time, I already feel close to many at Key Tech.
Favorite project work so far? The development of an app user interface. It is fun to try to match the interface on my app as close as possible to our teams’ designs. I also find it exciting that consumers will interact directly with my work.
What are you excited about in the next year? I am excited to see the projects I work on develop over the course of the year. I want to see my projects evolve and mature into products that are market ready.
If you could have an unlimited supply of something what would that be? I would have an unlimited supply of board games. I want to experience many different kinds with my friends.

Ethan Husted, Mechanical Engineer
Graduated from: Carnegie Mellon University
Hometown: Red Hook, NY
Why did you pick Key Tech? I picked Key Tech because we do work that is fresh, exciting, and beneficial to society! Throw in the fact that the company is employee-owned, and the incredible people who work here, and it’s hard to imagine any better job.
What do you like best about Key Tech? I’m a huge fan of the flexible hours and mutually supportive culture that’s cultivated here. Everyone here is passionate about the work we do together, but there’s plenty of room to be a real-life person outside the office as well. On the other hand, if you want your work-social Venn-diagram to be concentric circles, there are lots of people who live in the neighborhood, so it’s not uncommon to spend time with other KT-ers after hours!
Favorite project work so far? I got a chance to work on a custom fluorescence microscopy module recently for an IVD device, using optical ray-tracing simulation tools to optimize the design. It was my first full-scope design process for KT, and it was a rewarding experience to take a design all the way from conceptualization to prototyping to testing. I’ve also loved working on a unique controls algorithm for a drug-delivery device – if you want to contribute to projects that aren’t explicitly in your job description, KT often gives you leeway to learn more and branch out! I’m an ME by trade, but I have some advanced controls background that I’m excited to get to apply to this project.
What are you excited about in the next year? Looking forward to our theater expansion project. It will be great to have a shiny new office (with more natural light!) and more space for my tchotchkes.
If you could have an unlimited supply of something what would that be? Frozen Pierogis. No elaboration needed.
Mirza Korman, Computer Engineer
Graduated from: Johns Hopkins University
Hometown: Baltimore, MD
Why did you pick Key Tech? Hometown company working on cool and exciting products.
What do you like best about Key Tech? The flexibility of working on a broad scope of projects, each with their own unique set of challenges and being able to apply my own knowledge in trying to address those problems.
Favorite project work so far? Any work related to physically testing a project. Always a great feeling seeing a prototype or design work for the very first time.
What are you excited about in the next year? Continuing to work on existing projects and seeing them come to fruition.
If you could have an unlimited supply of something what would that be? Sour gum candy
Theo Bien, Mechanical Engineer
Graduated from: University of Pennsylvania (M.Eng in Mechanical Engineering) and Haverford College (B.S in Physics)
Hometown: Bangkok, Thailand
Why did you pick Key Tech? I chose Key Tech because of the fun work environment and fast project pace. I was excited to apply my engineering knowledge to complex interdisciplinary projects.
What do you like best about Key Tech? How much I’ve learnt! My coworkers at Key Tech are incredible teachers and mentors. I’m grateful for the time they take to teach me about engineering concepts, med tech, and consulting.
Favorite project work so far? I had the opportunity to design a modular test bench for flexible process development. This project was especially exciting because we had design freedom over the form and mechanisms.
What are you excited about in the next year? I am excited to own larger parts of projects and to grow my technical skills.
If you could have an unlimited supply of something what would that be? An unlimited supply of tied together handkerchiefs. I’d pull them out of unsuspecting locations and become a world-famous magician. I could also use them to clean up spills or when I forget to ask for napkins when ordering lunch.
A history nerd at heart, Alexis fits right into the quirky culture at Key Tech (though she still can’t speak binary). Weekends are spent chasing her two boys and spending time on her boat.
