Ryan Kerry

Welcome.

I’m Ryan Kerry, an engineering leader focused on building the organisations and technology platforms behind products that operate at world scale.

Today, I’m Engineering Director at Runware, where I lead engineering across our generative AI platform. My work centres on building Runware’s serverless compute platform for production AI, with a focus on fast inference, scalable GPU workloads and making complex infrastructure reliable and easy for developers to use.

Before Runware, I held executive and senior engineering leadership roles across gaming, developer platforms and global commerce.

At Unity, I served as Senior Director of Engineering and grew the Multiplayer organisation from six engineers to more than 150 globally. I was responsible for a portfolio of more than 13 products supporting a nine-figure business, transforming core services into scalable, self-service developer platforms and integrating acquired companies and technologies into Unity’s wider product ecosystem.

I later served as VP of Engineering at ESL FACEIT Group, strengthening the engineering organisation and technology behind one of the world’s largest competitive gaming ecosystems.

Earlier in my career, I led technology at Lush, where I designed and built Drupal’s largest global commerce platform. I also co-founded its R&D division, developing ethical retail hardware and exploring how emerging technologies could improve the retail experience. During that time, I led the migration of Lush’s global commerce platform to Google Cloud in just 22 days.

The industries have changed, but the underlying challenge has remained consistent: how do you build technology that continues to perform as it becomes more distributed, more heavily used and more important to the businesses relying on it?

Today, I apply that experience to production AI. I’m particularly interested in inference performance, GPU infrastructure, distributed systems and the developer platforms that make advanced technology easier to adopt.

Alongside my work, I’m studying for a BSc in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence with The Open University.
