VP Director of Software Engineering at Fifth Third Bank
Chris Van Dyke, panelist, is a VP Director of Software Engineering at Fifth Third Bank, where he leads initiatives across several areas, focusing primarily on foundational components and shared data access. His work sits at the intersection of large-scale system design and the practical realities of governing code quality across distributed teams. Chris brings a new perspective to the growing question of how organizations review, trust, and validate code that AI helped write. Chris has also worked hands-on with local and cloud-based AI tooling, giving him both an architect's view of enterprise risk and a builder's view of what AI-assisted development looks like day to day.
