Greg Parkison is an MLOps engineer in Portland with 5 years of experience turning industrial and domain-specific ML prototypes into production-grade systems. He led the rapid build and scale of WesGPT—delivering a secure, role-aware generative AI chat app in eight weeks—while re-architecting backends for async concurrency, Kubernetes-hosted vector DBs, and CI/CD pipelines that halved deployment time. A mechanical-engineering-trained problem solver, he pairs hands-on systems work (serverless ML endpoints, IIoT ingestion, OCR and thermal-imaging pipelines) with developer ergonomics through internal Python packages and automated onboarding. Greg is also an active open-source contributor to the popular Bokeh visualization library, improving Windows test coverage and adding bokehjs glyph features—bringing a data-visualization sensibility to his MLOps practice.
