About Chris
By day, a “mild mannered reporter…” For more than 30 years, I’ve helped organizations transform how they build, test, deliver, and govern technology. Today, I focus on AI Engineering Transformation, helping organizations adopt Artificial Intelligence responsibly to improve engineering productivity, software quality, and business outcomes.
My experience spans software engineering, Quality Engineering, enterprise delivery, healthcare, financial services, retail, SaaS, and digital transformation. I’ve built Centers of Excellence, led global engineering and quality organizations, established governance frameworks, and partnered with executive leadership to modernize engineering practices and deliver complex enterprise initiatives.
I help organizations integrate AI, Generative AI, automation, and engineering analytics across the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Lifecycle (STLC). From requirements and architecture through development, testing, deployment, and production support, I apply AI to accelerate delivery, improve quality, reduce risk, and increase engineering efficiency.
AI adoption requires more than deploying new tools—it requires governance. I’ve developed AI implementation roadmaps, governance frameworks, and enterprise adoption strategies that help organizations move from experimentation to scalable, measurable capabilities. My approach emphasizes responsible AI, transparency, explainability, traceability, security, compliance, and measurable business value.
Core areas of expertise include:
- AI Engineering Transformation
- Enterprise AI Strategy & Implementation
- AI Governance & Responsible AI
- Generative AI & Engineering Copilots
- AI-Enabled SDLC & STLC
- Engineering Process Automation
- Quality Engineering Leadership
- DevSecOps, CI/CD & Engineering Analytics
- Digital Transformation
- Executive Advisory & Organizational Change
Throughout my career, I’ve led engineering, quality, consulting, and delivery organizations supporting enterprise platforms across regulated industries. I enjoy translating emerging technologies into practical solutions, building high-performing teams, and helping organizations modernize with confidence.
I’m also an author and speaker focused on consumer technology, AI implementation, AI governance, software quality, and engineering transformation. My goal is to help organizations use AI to build better software faster—without compromising quality, security, compliance, or trust.
Let’s connect if you’re exploring AI engineering transformation, AI governance, or enterprise modernization.
By night, a professional writer/communicator & technology advocate… Chris is a father of 3 and a professional husband. When not running around coaching basketball or soccer games with and for his children and grandchildren, he enjoys movies, football (the Pittsburgh Steelers!), bowling, golf and cooking.
Chris enjoys gadgets and gizmos of all types, shapes, sizes, and kinds. He enjoys being on the bleeding edge of technology so he can find out what makes it tick, so it can be explained, implemented, and used by just about anyone, regardless of their profession, background, training, or comfort with technology or new things.
To that end, he has written for a number of print and online publications. His credits include the following:
