Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolWarren Kenny is a Senior Principal Engineer leading Riot Games' Anti-Cheat team with 11 years of production software experience and a Ph.D. in Computer Science focused on reliable routing for wireless networks. He blends deep systems and networking expertise—from packet capture and intrusion prevention to back-end APIs—with a strong focus on elegant, extensible cross-platform architectures and shared codebases. Warren has architected and shipped end-to-end projects across C++, Java, Erlang/Elixir, Node/PHP and mobile platforms, and has deployed multiple consumer apps through his company Radicle Design. At Riot he built security tooling and scalable platforms (including Sweeper and Sightstone) that automated vulnerability scanning and triage, demonstrating product-led security at scale. He pairs hands-on engineering with client- and team-facing leadership, having led product and security teams, mentored developers, and supervised projects from budget to delivery. Based in Ireland, he’s equally comfortable in low-level networking internals and high-level product strategy—often translating academic research into practical, production-grade systems.
