PurpleAir was born in the fall of 2015 out of Adrian’s curiosity surrounding air quality in his Salt Lake Valley community. Today, PurpleAir’s global network has grown to thousands of sensors measuring real-time air quality made accessible to the public via their interactive map.

After discovering his passion for technology at a very young age, Adrian spent many years honing his skills in complex electronic repairs, surface mount assembly and prototyping. This expertise, combined with two decades of experience in computer programming, network engineering and software development, enabled him to create PurpleAir.
