Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Woodruff is a board-level software architect and Developer Relations strategist with 25 years building distributed .NET and cloud-native systems that survive load, audit, and the next wave of AI agents. He combines hands-on architecture—designing resilient APIs, modular monoliths, and agentic AI pipelines—with practical DevRel playbooks that meet engineers in their editors, docs, and coding agents. A Microsoft MVP, podcast host, and frequent NDC/QCon speaker, he has led developer advocacy for JetBrains, built DevRel from zero at Rocket Mortgage, and now runs an independent practice focused on agent specifications, guardrails, and evaluation harnesses for regulated enterprises. Chris is currently authoring a book on software architecture and launching a venture at the intersection of architecture and DevRel, uniquely able to brief a board in the morning and perform a code review that afternoon.
