Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Patterson is a hands-on technical product leader and founder based in Portland with 13 years of experience translating complex systems into usable products and training. He solo-architected and shipped three AI-first products across iOS and macOS—an autonomous calling AI assistant with self-hosted LLM inference, an HRT-focused health app integrating HealthKit, and a macOS automation platform with Claude API and undetectable browser automation—while applying strong security practices like certificate pinning and local inference. At Novogradac he pairs that engineering depth with 4+ years of instructional design, turning dense federal tax-credit compliance into precise, multimedia training for thousands of professionals. Comfortable across SwiftUI, Python, Node.js, and Ollama-hosted models, he designs intent-aware systems (e.g., a 17-skill router and 4-layer cognitive memory) that minimize LLM context and surface only necessary actions. Seeking Technical PM or Developer Relations roles, he brings entrepreneurial grit, product ownership, and an unusual blend of regulatory training expertise and production-grade AI engineering.
