Chris writes things.

Most of the time, he's writing code as a senior software engineer at his 9-5 working for SAS. Occasionally, usually late at night after his wife and three kids are asleep, it means writing fiction (often in the horror and fantasy space) as he prepares to launch his self-publishing author career.

Chris is passionate about helping people understand new or complex topics in ways that are engaging and entertaining, building software responsibly, and reminding engineers that curiosity and empathy are just as important as technical skill.

An extroverted engineer who genuinely enjoys speaking to a room full of people for 20+ minutes, Chris' presenting style has been described as "modern, with a TikTok flair" -- one of the greatest compliments he's ever received.

When he's not "writing things," you'll find him paying video games, reading fiction, or spending time with his favorite people (the aforementioned wife and three kids). he's also incredibly talented, funny, and a general pleasure to be around. And as an aside, he _insists_ that he did not write this bio.

I am a senior AI business consultant and executive thought leader who helps leaders turn intent into funded value.

My approach is business-first and no tool worship, no jargon. I partner with leadership teams to create a focused portfolio, stage-gates that “kill the hype,” and executive scorecards that show payback, IRR, and capacity unlocked.

Most health and longevity speakers offer one of three things: a personal transformation story, a single-discipline expertise, or a wellness philosophy. Dr. Paul Kilgore brings something almost no one else on a stage can: the full vertical stack — from outbreak investigation in the field, to the bench science of clinical trials, to the bedside of 36 years of patient care, to the laptop of every audience member who walks away with working tools they can use that night.

His authority is built on a career at the front lines of public health science — much of it conducted on the ground, internationally. Dr. Kilgore lived overseas for 12 years and has conducted clinical work and research across approximately 30 countries, giving him a globally grounded perspective on infectious disease, travel medicine, vaccine policy, and the practical realities of staying healthy across cultures and borders. He is a board-certified internist, physician-epidemiologist, longevity medicine physician, Wayne State University professor, and former CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer — the elite federal corps trained to investigate disease outbreaks in real time, known as the "Disease Detectives." He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP) and the author of more than 150 peer-reviewed publications across vaccine science, infectious disease epidemiology, environmental health, travel and global health, and longevity medicine. He has served as a principal investigator on COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials, conducted research on the Flint Water Crisis, and advised on global immunization strategy. National media — including CBS News' The Takeout with Major Garrett and WDET's Detroit Today — turn to him when complex health science needs to be made clear, accurate, and actionable for the public.

What makes Dr. Kilgore singular among health and wellness speakers is what he has built outside the lecture hall. At drpaulkilgore.com, he has created one of the most comprehensive evidence-based longevity and wellness ecosystems available directly to the public — a working library of more than 50 physician-designed, trademarked health tools and risk calculators. These tools span the full architecture of personal health: biological age (Phenotypic Age Calculator), cardiovascular risk (CardioGuard HF™, AHA PREVENT CVD Risk), cancer (CancerClarity™), bone health (BoneWise™), cognitive and mental health (MindScreen™), nutrition and supplements (NutriGuard Rx™, SuppleSafe 360™), medication safety (MedCheck Rx™, MedList Pro™), vaccine planning (VaxLife™), travel and global health (TravelGuard™), women's health (OvarySpan™), endurance and athletic readiness (EnduranceReady™, IronReady™), and a full suite of biomarker analyzers covering metabolic, inflammatory, autoimmune, lipid, thyroid, iron, and kidney function. Alongside the tools, he has authored two structured courses — the Health Breakthrough Blueprint and the Personal Health Strategy program — a seven-volume checklist library with 860+ actionable items, 28 printable health-tracking templates, the "Ask Dr. Paul" podcast, and a tiered consultation practice that runs from focused four-session coaching to concierge-level longevity medicine. His content library is also licensed to employers as a turnkey corporate wellness solution covering up to 100 employees.

At the center of it all is the DETECTIVE Method™ — Dr. Kilgore's signature 9-step framework that translates the same evidence-based reasoning he was trained to apply to outbreaks into a personal health strategy anyone can use to live longer and healthier. It is the connective tissue between the science he has produced for three decades and the decisions a listener will make tomorrow morning.

What audiences get: a speaker who has done the science, written the papers, run the trials, sat at the bedside, built the tools, and worked across cultures and continents — and can hand attendees a working library, not a slide deck, the moment the talk ends. Conferences book Dr. Kilgore when they want a health keynote that delivers credibility, clarity, and immediate action — not just inspiration.

His message: you don't need a medical degree to make world-class decisions about your own health. You need the right framework, the right tools, and a physician who has spent 36 years — across more than 30 countries — figuring out how to put both in your hands.

Over 20 years experience in software engineering, mostly in the defence domain at Thales. The last few years of this were focused on transformation first to containers then Kubernetes.

After Thales I worked on the cloud native team at Couchbase, working on their Golang-based Kubernetes operator. This included producing a custom Fluent Bit deployment for observability needs.

Calyptia (founded by the Fluent maintainers) then approached me to come work with them building out observability products before we were successfully acquired by Chronosphere. I then led the migration of all our infrastructure and SOC2 compliance before Chronosphere was again successfully acquired by Palo Alto. During this period I also became a core maintainer of the CNCF graduated Fluent project, primarily working on Fluent Bit.

I am now running an OSS consultancy for observability called Telemetry Forge leveraging our knowledge as well as working with customers in the defence domain again.

Thomas de Klerk works as a learning consultant and trainer at Info Support, where he spends much of his time helping people make sense of complex technology — including AI.
His background is not purely technical. Early in his career he trained as a teacher at university level, later specialising in Human Resource Development. That combination still shapes how he looks at technology today: not just in terms of what it can do, but how people think, learn and make decisions around it.
His work now sits somewhere between training, facilitation and experimentation. He designs workshops, learning journeys and the occasional escape room to explore how people actually work with tools like AI in practice.
He uses AI himself, daily — which is exactly why he keeps questioning what it does to his own thinking.
