Chris Madison

@chrismadison

Engineering executive at Everyrealm who scaled engineering from 5 to 65 and shipped AI platforms and regulated systems.

United States
Message

At Interstice Digital, I shipped an institutional settlement and compliance platform from an empty repository to four-environment production in under six months. I designed the AI-assisted development workflow, with agents producing most first-draft code and tests under the same review and test gates as human-written code.

At Everyrealm, I scaled engineering from 5 to 65 while owning information security. I standardized serverless-first AWS and CI/CD, and took over Otherworld when the team had stopped shipping, moving it toward Node.js 22 and TypeScript before shipping in 30 days.

At Tellory.com, I directed and built an AI content and provider-discovery platform with five queue-driven LLM services and hybrid search over PostgreSQL and pgvector. Earlier, at Equideum Health, I ran engineering and security for a HIPAA-regulated health-data business unit, including consent-governed data exchange on FHIR.

At IBM, I grew a WebSphere engineering team from 2 to 120, designed Watson solutions for global clients, and co-invented ten granted U.S. patents in AI. I also authored ERC-8427, a draft Ethereum standard for bounded, revocable spending authority for AI agents and session keys.
