Bio
Mark Di Marco
I had the good fortune to work extremely closely with Kenny for several years, and I can say without a doubt that he is one of the most determined, thorough, professional, and talented engineers I've ever gotten to work with and manage. Kenny never backs down from a challenge. He constantly seeks to understand the problems he is tasked to solve. When he does need help, he comes prepared with questions and has already clearly researched the problem space, so sitting down with Kenny is always productive. He's an amazing cultural force for us on the team, a smiling face at every standup, always offering to help where he knows he can help. I would put Kenny on any project I could, knowing good and well it's in some of the best hands it could be in.

Kenny is one of the most determined people I have had a chance to work with. No challenge is too big for him, and he conquers them with a unique combination of talent, grit and team cooperation. If that wasn't enough, Kenny's positive attitude and relentless optimism are contagious and will make any team better.

Jan 2015 - Sep 2015
Like a wingman for professional connections, Knotwork is a platform to create and empower super connectors: 1. As a networker, broadcast who you want to meet and intros are surfaced through the people you trust 2. As a trusted connector, get rewarded for making intros It is an intelligent, “lazy networking” application designed for private groups (VC's, incubators, enterprises) to centralize their introduction efforts in a way that easily surfaces relevant connections to make amongst the group. I contributed effectively to planning , development and improvement of features for the Knotwork iOS Application. My colleague and I developed from scratch the current Knotwork iOS app, It's available for download on App Store. Show less
