Tech Paired #4 | The New Software Engineering Era w/ Patty O'Callaghan, Technical Director

Patty O’Callaghan — Head of AI for the Architecture & Engineering Group at Charles River Laboratories and a Google Developer Expert in AI & Cloud — joins us on Tech Paired to unpack what software development looks like in an AI-first world. This is a real-world conversation about how engineering teams are changing right now: AI writing code, developers evolving into architects, and why governance, guardrails, and AI literacy will define the companies that win in 2026. Patty shares a mind-blowing example: A project estimated at 3 developers for 3 months… delivered in 1 week using AI-assisted workflows. But this isn’t hype. It’s a blueprint for what’s coming. In this episode, we explore: • Why developers must adapt now • How AI is transforming the SDLC (planning → coding → testing → deployment) • Why testing and validation are more critical than ever • The risk of “shadow AI” inside organisations • What good AI governance looks like at enterprise scale • Why regulated industries are struggling to keep pace • The shift from SEO to AI discovery and changing web traffic patterns • How engineering roles are shifting from “coder” to “architect” • Why Patty believes 2026 could be a “tsunami year” for unprepared teams If you’re building software, leading engineering teams, hiring developers, or shaping AI strategy — this is essential listening. 🎙️ Hosted by Michael Phair and Stuart Alexander, co-founders of Tech Pair — a Tech & Change recruitment firm built on real relationships and hands-on expertise.
