Isaac Duke is Co-Founder and CTO at Austin Sensing Company, an Austin-based defense tech startup building a full-stack airspace sensing platform that detects, classifies, and alerts on drone and airborne threats.

Isaac studied at The University of Texas at Austin and built his career as a Software Test Engineer at Applied Research Laboratories, then as an Aerospace Software Engineer at Firefly Aerospace, and later as a Mission Operations Engineer at Saronic Technologies.

Isaac is the key inventor behind Austin Sensing Co.'s sensing technology, driven by a core conviction: you cannot protect what you cannot see. He champions vertical integration, building both the hardware and software in-house to ensure robustness and performance.

Under Isaac's technical leadership, Austin Sensing Co. emerged from stealth with $15M in total funding, including an $11M seed round led by Bow Capital with participation from Draper Associates, Bling Capital, and others. The company has deployed its RF detection system with more than 40 police and fire departments across Florida, California, Oregon, and New York.

Austin Sensing Co. is scaling rapidly with a new 20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas, and is expanding into military customers while developing radar and acoustic sensor systems for the full counter-UAS sensing stack.
