Summary
👤
SeniorJay Fenton is a serial entrepreneur, product builder and software engineer with 13 years of experience delivering high-performance, production-grade systems across networking, telematics and media. He founded Savvi (acquired by FD/Kx) where he built breakthrough geo-temporal visualisation, large-scale SNMP collectors and knowledge-graphed network models that powered national telecom operations, and later joined FD Technologies to integrate those capabilities into kdb+ at exceptional throughput. Jay now serves as Executive Producer & VFX Supervisor for Soul Atlas, orchestrating a 200+ person, multi-department production that blends film, games, audio and an app-driven distribution model across multiple countries. He’s hands-on with systems-level optimization—authoring SIMD/regex/HTTP/k8s integrations that pushed JSON decoding and ingestion to state-of-the-art speeds—while also steering creative IP and production pipelines. Comfortable toggling between low-level performance engineering and high-concept world-building, he brings a rare mix of technical depth and artistic leadership. Based in Melbourne, he thrives on solving "impossible" scaling problems that bridge real-time data, visualization and storytelling.
