David Parry is an accomplished Principal Architect with over 25 years of experience in software development, spanning enterprise systems, cloud architecture, and emerging AI integration technologies. His journey began in 1996 when he discovered the fascinating world of programming through Java applets—a technology that, while now obsolete, sparked a lifelong passion for building software that connects people to information and services.
Throughout his illustrious career, David has been involved in numerous high-profile projects that demonstrate his ability to deliver scalable, reliable systems under demanding conditions. He has successfully built and implemented content management systems for a wide range of global clients, including the prestigious Johnnie Walker brand and its renowned keepwalking.com platform. These projects required not only deep technical expertise but also an understanding of how technology serves brand storytelling and customer engagement at scale.
As a consultant at a Big 4 firm, David played a pivotal role in solving critical issues for enterprise customers across industries. He developed a reputation for diagnosing complex problems in high-traffic web platforms and architecting solutions that balanced immediate business needs with long-term technical sustainability. This consulting experience sharpened his ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and to navigate the organizational dynamics that often determine whether technology initiatives succeed or fail.
Never one to shy away from innovation, David has continuously expanded his skills to embrace emerging technologies. He has worked extensively on mobile applications and embedded Android TV systems, delivering streaming services that provide customers with exceptional viewing experiences. These projects demanded expertise in performance optimization, real-time data handling, and the unique constraints of embedded environments—skills that translate directly to modern distributed systems and edge computing architectures.
Currently, David holds the position of Principal Architect at Qodo.ai, where he oversees strategic planning and execution of architectural designs for customers building AI-powered development tools. His current focus includes integrating large language model APIs with enterprise Java systems using Spring AI, designing Model Context Protocol server architectures, and building the infrastructure that enables AI agents to interact securely with external tools and data sources. This work sits at the intersection of his deep Java expertise and the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-assisted software development.
David is passionate about sharing knowledge with the developer community. He actively contributes to open-source projects and speaks at conferences about practical approaches to AI integration, cloud architecture, and Java development patterns. His workshop on building MCP servers from scratch reflects his teaching philosophy: developers learn best by building real systems, understanding protocols at the wire level, and debugging their way to mastery.
Having witnessed the evolution of Java development from applets to microservices to AI-native architectures, David brings a rare combination of historical perspective and forward-looking vision to every project. His wealth of experience, strategic mindset, and hands-on technical skills make him an invaluable asset to any organization navigating the complexities of modern software architecture. When he's not architecting systems, David enjoys mentoring junior developers and exploring how AI can augment—rather than replace—human creativity in software development.

Bill helps organizations move beyond treating risk as a compliance exercise and instead weave it into how they conduct business. His work focuses on bridging the divide between business and technology so professionals across the enterprise can design, understand, and verify what is actually true.

Bill’s career sits at the intersection of business execution, engineering precision, and governance systems. He began his professional life building and operating complex systems and soon realized that the most significant failures were not technological at all. They were communication failures. Risk, compliance, and audit professionals speak one language. Engineers speak another. The result is friction, delay, and mutual misunderstanding. Rather than accept this divide as inevitable, Bill set out to build a bridge across it.

He calls that bridge Governance Engineering, the application of engineering principles to the systems of uncertainty and accountability that guide modern decisions. In his view, one can design governance as a system, verify it, and continuously improve it, just as with software. Policies become executable specifications, and assurance procedures become repeatable functions. This approach not only makes governance more efficient but also makes it verifiable.

Bill first brought this philosophy to a global audience as co-author of Investments Unlimited (IT Revolution, 2022). The novel reframes how IT organizations approach compliance in the era of DevOps, illustrating how financial institutions can transform regulation from a bottleneck into a catalyst for innovation. The book became a touchstone for technical leaders seeking to move audit and risk from reactive oversight to proactive design.

He continued to explore the intersection of human and digital systems through articles such as “Digital Mirror: Reflecting Changes in GRC with Digital Twins” and “AI-Enabled Digital Twins: Revolutionizing Efficiency for Modern Enterprises” (IT Revolution). In this work, Bill probes more profound questions about technology and trust. His writing bridges philosophy and practice, showing how risk management in the age of AI depends on clarity rather than control.

As a practitioner, Bill has turned these ideas into tangible methods, technology, and tools. He is the creator of NAPE (Not Another Policy Engine), an open-source system that transforms static policy statements into executable assurance logic. With Attestify, he extends that logic into a living ecosystem that enables what he calls Autonomous Assurance, the ability for organizations to continuously prove they are operating as intended, within defined risk tolerances. Together, these projects reflect his conviction that risk and audit should not slow business down, but accelerate it by making trust measurable.

Bill’s work resonates because it speaks to every side of the enterprise conversation. To technologists, he offers a way to make governance tangible, an engineering problem with definable seams, inputs, and outputs. To risk and audit professionals, he provides a way to make technology intelligible, a system that can be reasoned about, proven, and trusted. And to executives, he offers a vision of governance not as a cost of control, but as a source of confidence.
