President/Chief Optical Engineer

Chris C. Alexay founded his first company, Christopher Alexay & Associates in December of 2004. The company in its original form supported organizations that offered solutions which required optical subassemblies. After only a few months providing optical design and product development services, Chris supervised the transition of CA&A from a purely consulting organization to complete full up optical product development, fabrication and testing under a new name, StingRay Optics, LLC. In addition to his efforts during the company’s first five years to establish StingRay as a recognized supplier of custom optical systems, he was known for his role as the former director of the Custom Solutions Group and Chief Optical Designer for Janos Technology Inc, where he was employed for over thirteen years. Chris has been a featured speaker and chair at key industry conferences and has contributed numerous publications to the optical community.
