Ken Soldink is the Wheaties behind Academic Impressions. As our Web Applications Developer, he ensures that our websites, IT systems, and communications are connected and running smoothly both before the team can touch them and after they inevitably break them. Ken hails from Canada and earned an Honours Computer Science degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. He is the first in his family to attend university and takes to heart that AI is working to improve higher education. When not enabling AI’s future technologically (and putting out the occasional IT fire), he can be found enjoying a Tim Horton’s double double, watching Blade Runner on repeat, and spending time with his wife and their poodles, Kima and Cutty.
