Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlan Johnson is a seasoned founder and technologist with over a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native, AI-enabled products and enterprise-grade systems. He combines entrepreneurial leadership with full-stack engineering—recently building Dialogflow/Vertex/Gemini AI agents, cloud services and infrastructure in Go, Python, React, Node and Terraform across GCP and AWS. As founder of PinionAI and former Sr. Director at Journey, he has shipped production multichannel orchestration, secure PII payment voice/chatbot solutions and a patent-pending payment process for contact centers. His prior CTO and CEO roles drove rapid, revenue-generating product launches (including a warehouse system that supported $27B in loan fundings) and successful exits. Not obvious from his title: he invents file formats and developer tooling (AIA format, pinionai PyPI library) to make AI agent deployment deterministic and compliant. Based in Denver, he blends product strategy, security-conscious architecture and frequent shipping to turn complex domain requirements into practical, auditable solutions.
