Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Sullivan is a founder and principal AI engineer with nine years of experience turning zero-to-one ideas into production-grade software and AI-native products. He combines full-stack development, cloud infrastructure expertise across AWS/Azure/GCP, and LLM orchestration to deliver deployable SaaS and enterprise copilots, often adding persistent memory, evaluation harnesses, and domain-specific RAG pipelines. As a former CTO and McKinsey technical lead, he pairs startup speed with enterprise-grade rigor—leading teams, setting technical direction, and shipping regulated industrial solutions. He’s pragmatic about developer productivity, leveraging AI-augmented workflows and CI/CD to maintain production-quality code while accelerating delivery. Based in Denver, he’s equally comfortable architecting low-code AI integrations for enterprises as he is building real-time negotiation and payments systems for commerce.
