About Us

Hansen Photonics Incorporated is a small, family company located in Burien, Washington. It is proud to be able to contribute to the computer networking industry with patents that cover modular networking hardware devices and systems (with many more soon to come).

Backstory: In 2017, Psychology major and part-time newspaper cartoonist JP Hansen shocked his family by inventing a new photonic computer networking device in his dorm room at the University of Idaho. This optical aberration was not a fluke. JP continued inventing new photonic devices year after year, and soon opened a business with his friend and fellow student Tim Martin, former science partner H Lynn Baker, cousins Kim and Kady Wiese; and father, Karl Hansen. Today, HPI works with universities, environmental science centers, and small businesses to help provide new, cutting-edge hardware solutions for everyone.
