I’m Wes Kennedy — a systems archaeologist by instinct, technical marketer by trade.

My default mode is reverse-engineering: I walk into any system whether its technical, mechanical, organizational, and start reading the decisions frozen inside it. How it got here. Where it’s drifted. Where it’s headed. I’ve been doing this since before I had words for it, across farming, electrical work, woodworking, enterprise infrastructure, and AI datacenter architecture. The domain changes. The underlying work doesn’t.

I currently work as a Senior Technical Marketing Engineer on NVIDIA’s DGX team, where I work across rack-scale and datacenter-class AI infrastructure. Before that: Nutanix, SingleStore, Lightbeam, and a handful of other places where I built things that worked, and a few where the work was right but the environment wasn’t.

What I actually care about is simpler than my resume suggests: systems that protect the human inside them. Right-sized complexity, hidden behind simplicity. Never over-engineered for its own sake, never under-built to cut corners.

Outside of work: Japanese woodworking, home automation built entirely around reliability, a school network I’m rewiring one conduit at a time, and a long-running plan to eventually steward a forest.

I build things that work after I’m gone. That’s the whole thing.
