Patrick Liekhus is Principal AI Enablement Engineer at Provation, a company revolutionizing how clinicians and care teams around the world work together to deliver quality healthcare, trusted globally in more than 5,000 hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and medical offices. He believes the biggest risk in the AI coding era isn't moving too slow - it's moving fast in the wrong direction.

Patrick champions spec-driven development as the discipline that keeps AI-assisted teams honest: clear specs before code, steering files that encode architectural intent, and multi-agent workflows that scale engineering output without sacrificing quality. His work sits at the intersection of scalable architecture and practical AI enablement - helping teams in engineering and the business build systems that are fast to ship and built to last.

A frequent voice on engineering discipline in the age of AI, Patrick brings hard-won experience from regulated, compliance-heavy healthcare environments where getting it right isn't optional — and where AI must be steered, not just unleashed.
