Who Am I?
I'm Keeghan McGarry, a New Zealand native now calling Liverpool, England
home. I’m a tech enthusiast, chess competitor, and the mastermind behind
many a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. But let's dive a little deeper into
the mix.
One of my core beliefs is that tech should be as much about people as it
is about coding. It's this guiding philosophy that's seen me through
over a decade in the industry, starting in software engineering and
evolving into roles where tech and people intersect. Whether it’s
bringing a data-driven mindset to a growing startup, or writing code for
a chess training website that’s been embraced by hundreds of users - I
love getting my hands dirty and seeing the impact of my work.
I believe in jumping in and figuring things out along the way. My
journey has taught me that success isn't about avoiding failure, but
about learning, adapting, and growing from it. But it's not all about
the work. Just as I love adding a dash of tech to my D&D campaigns, I'm
all about blending creativity and strategy in my professional life too.
It's this balance that keeps me ticking.
What's next on the horizon? I see a future filled with AI, a role as a
CTO, a portfolio of small businesses running tech I’ve crafted, and
hopefully a lot more public speaking. Through it all, I’ll keep asking
the big questions, pushing boundaries, and having a blast along the way.
So, if you’re looking for the short version, here it is - I’m a
tech-loving, chess-playing, never-satisfied kind of guy, always ready
for the next adventure. Let’s see where the journey takes us!!
