Call for Paper Open

Got something real to say about AI engineering? We want to hear from you.

The AI Engineering Summit brings together the people actually building, shipping, and governing AI-powered software.
We’re looking for speakers who’ve been in the trenches — not polished vendor pitches, but honest, experience-driven talks that practitioners can take back to work on Monday.

Call for paper ends on: July 30, 2026

Panel Discussion Speaker

Eric Martin

Director of Software Engineering, KODE Health

With 20 years in software engineering, I bridge the gap between technical complexity and business revenue. My expertise lies in taking engineering organizations from “startup agility” to “enterprise maturity”—specifically helping post-Series B companies scale their teams, processes, and technology to meet aggressive growth targets.

I am not just a technology leader; I am a “Risk & Revenue” strategist. Whether leading teams of 30+ or managing multi-million dollar budgets, my focus is on building resilient systems that protect revenue and ensure compliance in high-stakes industries like Healthcare and FinTech.

CORE COMPETENCIES

Scaling Engineering Orgs: Experienced in growing and structuring teams (15+ direct, 15+ matrixed) to maximize velocity while reducing technical debt. I build “Leaders of Leaders”—mentoring developers into Architects and Directors.

High-Volume Architecture: Designed and managed systems tracking 1 billion+ annual communications with 99.99% traceability, ensuring audit compliance and revenue retention for enterprise clients.

Strategic Agility: Proven ability to pivot engineering roadmaps instantly in response to regulatory changes (e.g., deploying proprietary obfuscation tech across financial services platforms following adverse court rulings).
