Founder / Technical Lead / Senior Full Stack Developer / Lead Solution Architect / Engineer / Innovator

Kenneth B. Springer‘s technology focus is digital media forensics: privacy, metadata, copyright exposure, forensic analysis, steganography, and accessibility — with the goal of helping build a better world online.

Kenneth founded the projects Hueyify® and snapWONDERS™ to help his disabled son Huey, who lost his eyesight at the age of 4 to make better use of the Web and tackle accessibility. Now the projects continue in Huey’s memory (may his gentle soul rest in peace always).

About Kenneth:

Kenneth Springer is widely regarded as one of Australia’s leading software developers. He is a computer engineer, an alumnus of The University of Melbourne and a forward-thinking Senior Full Stack Developer / Experienced Programmer / Engineer / Innovator / Founder with more than 20 years’ experience. He is passionate towards helping to make a better world online.

Afflicted with Craniometaphyseal Dysplasia – an extremely rare condition – Kenneth knows better than most how daily challenges can be overcome with technology. His son Huey (may his gentle soul rest in peace always) lost his eyesight and became legally blind at the age of four. For people like Huey, using the Web was a daily battle. Inspired by his son (and in his memory) that the Web could be simpler to navigate, Kenneth saw an opportunity to improve Web accessibility and founded Hueyify. Through Hueyify, Kenneth filed an international patent application (PCT/AU2016/050860) and was recognised as a Chivas Venture top 5 finalist in Australia (2016) and listed in the anthill SMART 100 (2017).

Due to personal reasons and health considerations Kenneth reconnected with travel, hiking & nature. Stumbling into the world of photography, digital media and the need to share our journeys left Kenneth pondering about privacy, metadata, tracking, copyrights, and online safety in the realm of sharing content online. Wanting to help build a better world online resulted in the founding of snapWONDERS, deepening the digital media knowledge first built through the Hueyify accessibility project. That same foundation — understanding everything digital media contains — is what made Vaultify possible.

Kenneth spends his spare time on snapWONDERS and Hueyify working tireless to bring his vision to fruition. Sometimes in the wee hours of the morning — Kenneth feels the gentle presence of Huey.
