Chris Brennan is a Solutions Engineer with 9 years of experience who blends software engineering, automation and AI to help financial services and technology clients modernise legacy systems and deliver measurable business transformation. He has led automation and RPA practices at PwC and Liberty IT, architecting intelligent automation that layers AI, Python/JavaScript integrations and OCR/image recognition (notably ABBYY) on top of traditional workflows. A PhD-trained researcher who has worked on brain-computer interfaces and IoT sensor projects, he brings a rare mix of academic rigour and hands-on delivery—having also built a framework to automate complex web-app development for non-specialists. Comfortable advising boards and technical teams alike, Chris has driven GDPR migration projects and cross-EMEA collaborations that fuse emerging tech with pragmatic product outcomes. Based in Holywood, Northern Ireland, he is particularly focused on evolving RPA from rule-based bots to AI-centric services that invoke TensorFlow and NLP to solve higher-order automation challenges.
