Walter Engelbrecht

Walter Engelbrecht is a Co-Founder and C.O.O. of IPTECHVIEW, an AI orchestration platform for existing and emerging video endpoints, including fixed, flying (drones), and footed (robots) cameras.
As a serial entrepreneur and insatiably curious technologist, Walter enjoys inspiring not only IPTECHVIEW’s employees, partners, and clients but the next generation of technologists as well – starting with his teenage children. When he isn’t prototyping a new AI feature, Walter can be found immersed in a book or in a state of suspended consciousness (“flow”) as he plays the piano or one of his many guitars. He also enjoys preparing gourmet meals for Felix, his 2-year-old French Bulldog.
