Hey folks - I’m Ryan Kerry, a software engineering leader with experience building and leading teams across engineering, infrastructure, and security. Over the years, I’ve worked in a range of environments, from fast-paced startups to global technology organisations, helping build impactful products and resilient platforms. My past roles haved included: VP of Engineering at ESL FACEIT Group, Senior Director of Engineering at Unity, and Global Head of Technology at Lush Cosmetics.

This is where I unpack what I’ve learned from scaling infrastructure and leading teams to exploring how AI is reshaping modern engineering.

How can I help?

I’m open to a range of opportunities where I can support others through experience, perspective, and practical guidance:

• Mentorship, coaching, or 1:1 sessions with engineering leaders navigating growth, scale, or transitions in their careers.
• Advisory roles with startups or growing tech organisations where infrastructure, developer experience, or security maturity are critical to success.
• Non-Executive Director (NED) positions, particularly where technical oversight and strategic guidance are valued at the board level.

If you’re scaling and would benefit from a sounding board or a critical friend - let’s talk. You can connect with me on Linkedin or email me at rk@evolvingcomplexity.com.
