Kochi, Kerala · Building since 2005

I build products —
and the people who ship them.

Entrepreneur, technologist, and technology evangelist with 20+ years across tech, martech, and digital marketing. Founder of devBlink.ai — these days helping people and businesses explore what AI can do in their work and their everyday lives.

About

Two decades turning ideas into products.

I'm Kenney Jacob — often spelled Kenny Jacob — and I've spent my career at the intersection of technology and business: writing code, shaping product, working as a digital marketing consultant, and building the teams to bring it all together. Along the way I served as CTO of a venture that was later acquired.

These days much of my time goes to devBlink.ai, which I'm building so people who don't write code can still create real software — and to helping others find where AI genuinely fits in their work and their lives.

Outside of building, I write and speak, and I take an active interest in social and political questions — I try to say what I think plainly, even when it's uncomfortable. My podcast, Anthardhara, follows the undercurrents in our society that rarely get discussed. I wrote Captured, on how the gains of each technological revolution have ended up captured by a few — and I'm now writing The Right Level, on how ordinary people come to own the work, the harvest, the money and the ground.

What I do

Where I spend my energy.

Founding & Building

Taking products from a blank page to launch — architecture, engineering, and the hard product calls in between.

Technology Evangelism

Getting people and businesses to actually try what's next — today it's AI, and it was computers, the internet, and data before it. I've done this my whole life.

Backing early-stage founders with the technical and product guidance to ship and scale with confidence.

Current venture
devBlink.ai
