Kenny Carruthers

I'm a software developer with over 26 years of professional programming experience. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Bishop's University. Originally from Ottawa, Canada, these days I call British Columbia home.

I've held senior software engineering positions at Be Inc., Apple Computer and Danger Inc. where I worked on BeOS & BeIA, Mac OS X and the Hiptop (T-Mobile Sidekick) respectively.

Most of my professional experience has been focused on building and shipping consumer products for both desktop and mobile devices. My background is in software development, but I'm equally interested in the usability (UX) and design (UI) of an application.

In 2005-2006, I travelled overland from Barcelona, Spain to Cape Town, South Africa by way of Europe, the Middle East and the east coast of Africa. More recently, I've spent extended periods of time in Bangkok, Thailand; Chiang Mai, Thailand and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

In 2014, I founded a software company called Corduroy Code. The company's first application, Fileloupe for Mac, is a high-performance file viewer that offers a better way to browse photos, watch videos, view PDFs and preview documents on your Mac. The company's second application, Videoloupe for Mac, is an advanced video player that offers a rich set of video-specific features for playback, editing, analysis and exporting.

For the past 20 years I've worked independently, building mobile apps, desktop apps and websites for a wide range of clients. Most recently I've turned my attention to enterprise software, exploring how small and medium-sized businesses running on Salesforce can put A.I. to practical use.
