Summary
Stefan Kent is a hands-on Chief Technology Officer with 11 years of experience building resilient, production-grade systems that bridge hardware and software. Currently leading Refilled, he architects connected IoT dispensers, QR-coded reusable bottles, and user-friendly apps to make everyday refills a scalable climate action. He’s equally comfortable designing distributed game-server physics from his Armoured Beans co-founder days as he is shipping microservice-driven marketplaces and SPAs for startups like Snappr and HealthEngine. Stefan thrives on problems that can’t hide behind abstractions—where reliability in the wild, hardware robustness, and simple UX must all align. He combines deep full-stack engineering, operations and team-building experience with a taste for experimental ventures that push technical limits. Based in Sydney, he brings pragmatic leadership and an appetite for turning mundane interactions into measurable impact.
