Doug Pedrick is a seasoned founder-CTO and software craftsman with 30+ years of experience building mission-critical systems across healthcare, financial services, defense, and agriculture. He blends deep architectural judgment with hands-on engineering—designing high-availability, secure platforms and leading teams to stabilize and modernize legacy systems while shipping new ML and computer vision products. Notable strengths include object-oriented design, TDD, scalable workflow engines, and practical ML (including CNNs and decision-tree-based nutritional models), plus a track record of producing production-ready cloud and embedded systems. Doug pairs Agile/Kanban delivery with rigorous error-proofing practices (immutability, idempotency, FMEA) to drive reliability at scale. Now leading Red Nine Software, he focuses on niche science and agriculture applications, applying decades of cross-domain experience to narrow, high-impact problems.
