Summary
Adam Kennedy is a seasoned engineering leader and principal architect in San Francisco with 23 years delivering novel, large-scale distributed systems. He operates across levels—from high-level cost modeling, technology selection and counterparty risk for billion-dollar infrastructure to hands-on work on test harnesses, modularity and transitive dependency management. Recently he’s focused on bringing AI into high-exposure production (AI-assisted developer workflows and agent-based systems) through senior roles at Apple, Voltron Data, Together AI and Kaggle. A prolific open-source author (100k+ lines) with contributions to Arrow, Parquet, Kafka, Spark and more, he’s given 50+ international talks and was once ranked among the world’s top 10 Perl programmers—proof of deep craftsmanship beneath the executive lens.
