Summary
John Sedlak is a Director of AI Innovation with over 15 years of software engineering experience, grounded in .NET and C# and amplified by deep expertise in distributed systems, microservices, CQRS, Event Sourcing, and actor-based architectures like Microsoft Orleans. He has a track record of turning web, mobile, and enterprise platforms into measurable business value by reducing risk, controlling technical debt, and designing resilient, scalable systems. Known for pragmatic, sometimes unconventional solutions, he blends hands-on engineering with stakeholder-focused discovery to ensure systems solve real user problems. Lately he focuses on embedding AI where it streamlines the SDLC and operational friction rather than adding surface-level features, building hyperscalable pipelines that repurpose diverse data for multi-channel, AI-driven experiences. Based in Morristown, NJ, he is a former Microsoft MVP and a developer who values outdoor time and practical impact as much as technical elegance.
