Chris Wilkerson, Principal
Chris Wilkerson is a 30-year technologist with deep experience in computing systems and AI. At Intel he worked on privacy-enhanced AI technologies. At Nvidia he worked on deep learning inference systems, and he has held AI-focused roles at two AI startups, including Kepler. He holds more than 100 patents and has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers. He earned his B.Sc. and M.Eng. in electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon.
Large companies have IT staff to choose, connect, and maintain their technology. In a small business that job falls to the owner, on top of running everything else. The tools that save time and bring in customers already exist and are often affordable. What is missing is someone with experience to identify and integrate the right tools. Chris is passionate about filling this gap for small businesses.
Northkeel Systems was founded to bring that experience to businesses that need technology to work for them, as one shop for digital marketing and process optimization: a website and search marketing that bring in customers, chatbots that answer them, and frontend and backend software that handles quotes, bookings, and orders the way the business actually runs.
