Blin is the Chief Technology Officer at Hennessey Digital, responsible for the innovation and development of high-caliber tools, systems and processes across AI, engineering, website development, service delivery, marketing technology, internal and external platforms, and data interpretation and management.
His leadership, curiosity and vision for what’s possible has contributed to the growth of the company’s application of technology, AI-powered solutions, and the development of proprietary marketing technologies. He manages a team of almost 100 engineers and developers, rivaling the depth of engineering capabilities of any media and digital agency.
Blin started programming when he created a family website using Microsoft FrontPage in the early 2000s, but he didn’t realize how much he liked programming until he got an Arduino as a birthday gift. A few lines of simple C code were able to read data such as temperature or distance from different sensors and drive DC Motors or servos.
In order to pursue his dream, Blin moved to the United States to attend college where he studied Computer Science. He’s held positions ranging from intern to CTO at several ed-tech companies, joining the leadership team at Hennessey Digital team in 2020 to oversee technology and engineering. He’s an energetic and passionate team member who prides himself in being a team player who helps everyone, and can often be found interacting with clients and account managers to truly understand the day to day and what matters to clients, and how the agency can deliver greater efficiencies and strategies to reach clients goals.
Beyond his role at Hennessey Digital, Blin enjoys family time, long bike rides, exploring cultures through travel, and is a pilot who flies light aircraft. He is also a Guinness World Record holder for developing the Largest Online class ever taught. Blin lives in western Florida with his wife, Sarah, and their three sons.
