Recommendation for Shane

“I am pleased to recommend Shane Canekeratne without reservation. I first met Shane through our founder, Joshua Snowhorn, who introduced him as a former industrial engineer intern on Apple’s iPhone 11 project. While our needs at Quantum Loophole didn’t initially align with that expertise, Shane quickly proved himself far more versatile than any single title could suggest. From day one, he dove into patent design work, then pivoted to telecom infrastructure layouts—helping us adapt building plans as parcels shifted, navigate county zoning, and even support marketing and community outreach. He became our utility player: smart, engaging, kind, and a genuine team player who impressed everyone he touched. Shane worked shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the sharpest minds in hyperscale data centers—our head of real estate (ex-global real estate lead at Microsoft) and our infrastructure head (ex-global infrastructure lead at Apple). Both, having managed massive teams at those companies, consistently praised his output, adaptability, and unflappable attitude. Quantum Loophole delivered the world’s first hyper-scale data center community—over two gigawatts of planned power—and Shane was right there, shaping site selection, planning, and execution. He didn’t just keep up; he accelerated us. For any team chasing fast growth, Shane is a rare find: brilliant, flexible, collaborative, and already battle-tested in high-stakes design and cross-functional chaos. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.”
