Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Rickard is a founder and software leader with 15+ years of hands-on engineering and 20+ years building teams and products across Australia, Canada and the U.S., now focused on solving the root cause of failed projects: poor requirements. As Founder & Director of Userdoc he blends product, AI and developer experience to auto-generate user stories, reverse-engineer existing systems into living documentation, and integrate requirements into delivery workflows—delivering measurable time savings for clients like Infosys. He previously scaled and exited teams as a serial founder and technical lead at companies such as inoutput, Setkick and Portable, building everything from logistics and healthcare platforms to production-management tools. Based in Melbourne, Chris pairs a pragmatic engineering background with a persistent obsession for clarifying ambiguity in software projects, turning fuzzy ideas into testable, shippable specs.
