Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Carpenter is a seasoned technology leader and entrepreneur with 15+ years of hands-on experience building mobile and web products and over 20 years of software development experience overall. Currently CTO at Zane and founder of Discontinuity.ai, he specializes in bringing AI/ML and mobile-first experiences to market quickly while empowering teams to be self-sufficient. His background spans founding and leading engineering organizations—from mobile consultancy 2Lines Software to digital transformation at BlackSquare—combining product intuition with pragmatic architecture. Trained as a geomatics engineer and certified in AI and self-driving systems, he blends spatial thinking, machine learning curiosity, and product-focused engineering.

Based in Calgary, he pairs an operator’s discipline with a founder’s appetite for rapid prototyping and organizational adoption of emerging technologies.
