About Sean Kearney

As a passionate and driven technologist and entrepreneur, I have a rich history of transforming visionary ideas into reality. My journey spans from contributing to the growth of a six-person startup into an acquisition by a $1+ billion company, to the creation and management of multiple products used by tens of thousands worldwide. I excel in delivering cross-functional, large-scale, award-winning applications built by global teams that align with business goals. My expertise lies in leading cloud migrations, pioneering DevOps practices, and integrating cutting-edge technologies such as Azure, microservices, and AI. As a co-founder and technical lead, I have successfully guided the development of innovative solutions, optimized system performance, and enhanced user engagement. At My DJ Cloud, I led a team of engineers to achieve significant milestones, including the migration of 5TB of data monthly and maintaining a 99.99% uptime. My contributions included developing scalable audio transcoding systems, comprehensive monitoring solutions, and automated infrastructure deployments. Previously, as the Director of Technology Services at Hedgehog Development, I managed the integration of new technology stacks, doubled team growth, and implemented strategic planning initiatives. My role in founding Digital DJ Pool further exemplified my ability to connect DJs with record labels through robust technical platforms, achieving a system uptime and reducing bandwidth costs by 60%. As a Solutions Architect at Hedgehog Development, I worked directly with clients to turn their business ideas into complete end-to-end solutions. I defined technical specifications using the latest technologies and practices, guiding the development team and project managers to successful project completions. My focus on ASP.NET Web Applications powered by the Sitecore CMS earned me recognition as one of only 12 Sitecore MVPs worldwide. My technical leadership is complemented by my passion for mentoring teams, fostering innovation, and delivering world-class solutions. As a recognized Sitecore MVP, I co-created Team Development for Sitecore, revolutionizing development practices through continuous integration and deployment. Whether it’s architecting cloud solutions, driving agile transformations, or enhancing product offerings, I thrive on leveraging technology to solve complex problems and create impactful user experiences.
