Who I Am
I’m Dr Jas Powell — Tech Co-Founder & CTO of SafeNav, hands-on engineer, and team builder based in Larnaca, Cyprus. I’ve worked mostly at startups, had two successful exits, and I’ve spent my career straddling the line between leadership and the terminal.
I started as an electronics apprentice at MBDA at sixteen, went on to study Electronic Engineering at the University of Sheffield — MEng with a thesis on genetic algorithms for automatic circuit design, then a PhD in nanostructure physics modelling III-V semiconductors. I’ve published in Physical Review B, Carbon, and the Journal of Applied Physics, among others.
