Todd Fisher

Head of Software Engineering · Philo Ventures

Bio

In his current role Todd co-launches a new venture backed startup every few months, acting as an interim CTO / founding engineer. Over Todd’s close to 20 year career, he has held titles such as head of engineering, director of engineering and principal software engineer. Todd loves to build things and, like many of us, has been embracing the shift into the AI native mindset of software development. When Todd is not telling an AI to write code, he can be found strumming his guitar in random places, such as the beach, in the mountains, on his front porch, or even at a tech conference such as this one :). Todd is passionate about creating positive experiences for people, including through writing music, building products, and community building . Todd is always open for a jam session or the occasional paired programming with strangers, just ask.

Todd Fisher pairs hands-on GenAI integration experience (as CTO of Verdi AI, where he led embedding OpenAI/ChatGPT into a shipping product) with deep engineering-culture leadership built at Pluralsight, making his sessions on practical AI-in-production and developer velocity useful for engineering teams navigating AI-native development.
