Top SchoolStefan Khan-kernahan is a Director of Software Engineering with a decade of experience building cloud-native products and scaling engineering teams across startups and enterprise clients. He has a track record of creating cross-functional organizations, coaching teams of ~15 engineers, and delivering multi-cloud solutions on AWS, GCP, and Azure for telecom, transport, and finance. Hands-on early in his career as a C++/Java/PHP developer, he blends deep technical empathy with strategic program architecture and operational rigor.

Based in Vancouver with an MLIS from UBC, he brings an unusual mix of information-science thinking and pragmatic software leadership. He’s as interested in building remarkable user experiences as he is in cultivating blunt, honest team dynamics inspired by books like Radical Candor and Measure What Matters.
