Benjamin Evans began their work experience in 2013 as an Administrative Assistant at Fedmet Resources. In 2017, they joined Current, powered by GE as an Edison Engineering Development Program - Electrical Engineering Intern. During their time there, they assisted in the design and testing of power supplies for LED lighting systems, modified existing circuit designs, and created prototypes and demos. In 2019, Evans joined Sound United as an Electronics Technician, where they worked until 2022. Currently, they are a Product Engineer at Soundskrit, starting in April 2022.
Benjamin Evans completed their secondary education at CEGEP - John Abbott College from 2011 to 2013, where they earned a DEC in Sciences. Following that, they pursued their Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering at Concordia University from 2014 to 2019.

Soundskrit
Soundskrit is fundamentally changing the way sound is measured to bring the next generation of audio applications. The many emerging voice applications and interfaces have driven a need to capture sound from farther distances while remaining robust to noise. Because traditional pressure based microphones pick up sound coming from every direction,arrays of multiple microphones are needed to listen to a specific direction and ignore surrounding noise. This comes at a cost of increased size and decreased audio quality.Our bio-inspired, directional microphone directly measures the velocity of incoming sound rather than pressure. With a single microphone, we can separate sounds coming from multiple directions without compromising on size or quality. Soundskrit will greatly improve speech recognition and sound localization, enabling a new suite of features to consumer electronics.
