Jamal Johnson
@jamaljohnson1
Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in production-ready generative AI and MLOps across cloud platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior AI/ML Engineer with 14 years in IT and over 8 years focused on AI, Machine Learning, and Generative AI engineering and architecture, delivering production-grade models across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
I design and implement end-to-end ML lifecycles, MLOps pipelines, RAG systems, prompt engineering, and vector database integrations, and I have deployed scalable solutions using SageMaker, AKS, EKS, Databricks, and Kubernetes while emphasizing observability, security, and governance.
My achievements include architecting Gen AI applications using GPT-family and other LLMs, implementing MLflow-backed model registries and CI/CD for models, optimizing distributed training and inference, and mentoring teams to deliver high-performance, reliable AI systems.
