Christopher Konopka

Christopher Konopka is a multidisciplinary technologist and experimental artist whose work spans software, hardware, human-computer interaction, AI systems, and creative technology.

With experience at companies including Twilio and Hyundai-backed Motional, Christopher has worked across emerging technologies, autonomous vehicle systems, and interactive product development. His work includes creating high-profile technology demonstrations for corporate leadership and government officials, translating complex technical concepts into tangible, interactive experiences.

His approach combines systems thinking, interaction design, rapid prototyping, and creative problem-solving to turn unconventional ideas into functional products and technologies. With a background in electronic music and jazz composition, Christopher also maintains an experimental artistic practice exploring analog and digital video, feedback, signal manipulation, and the relationships between humans and machines.

His work has been presented in settings including NYU, Brown University, and MASS MoCA, with coverage from IEEE, VICE, and Create Digital Music.

Across disciplines, Christopher explores the intersections of technology, creativity, and human experience, finding connections between seemingly unrelated systems and ideas.
