Sydney, Australia

I'm Prabin Deka, Director & Co-founder at Kenekt.

I build and lead small, highly focused teams that solve complex technology problems — and I'm happiest when the answer turns out to be simpler than everyone expected.

01 /About

Simplifying technology.

I am passionate about simplifying technology for my clients — and I've spent the better part of twenty years proving that it's usually possible.

I've pursued that across the online divisions at TAB, WooliesX, Suncorp, Realestate Australia, Lonely Planet, GetUp!, Telstra and Macquarie Bank.

I'm a technologist first. I love working with small, highly focused teams on hard problems, and most of my experience has been in highly dynamic projects where challenging the status quo was the norm rather than the exception.

I also hold an MBA from AGSM, which gave me a more holistic perspective on business problems and a considerably more sophisticated view of what actually motivates people.

Would you like to work together?

I'm always up for a conversation about hard technology problems — whether that's an architecture you're unsure about, a team you're trying to shape, or a roadmap that needs a second opinion.
