Jack O'Regan Kenny

I build and run technology teams. I care about making organisations work well: the systems, the people, the infrastructure underneath.

Right now I'm CTO at Life Scientific, where I lead an enterprise-wide AI and systems transformation. Patch and the Invisible College shaped a lot of how I think.

Outside work

I build computers and keyboards, including small-form-factor PCs with 3D-printed airflow guides. I used to do home lighting with Ubiquiti gear. I sim race, play Counter-Strike, and run a heavily modified coffee machine. I don't read enough, so I'm taking recommendations.
