Orthogonal Defect Classification (ODC) is the MRI for software development. As AI accelerates coding, ODC reveals how teams learn and engineer.

My entire professional career has been focused on one goal — developing algorithms that extract data from software practices to guide learning and engineering. ODC was a breakthrough well ahead of its time, and today it can amplify the impact of AI. While AI helps code, ODC helps humans learn and engineer.

The ODC Podcast begins to share my 25-year journey of implementing ODC worldwide. We’ve worked across diverse domains — Networks, Operating Systems, Data, Embedded Systems, and more recently IT applications such as Insurance, Finance, and Retail. I’ve learned immensely from the thousands of engineers I’ve had the privilege to work with — and I hope your insights and directions will continue to shape The ODC Podcast.
