Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolKelly Johnson is an adaptable software generalist and architect with 11 years of experience building scalable systems across startups and product-focused teams from robotics to contract AI platforms. Currently an Associate Architect in Applied AI Engineering at Icertis and co-founder/CTO of Digital Wisdom, Kelly blends hands-on engineering with leadership, shipping everything from front-end React apps to containerized back ends and ML-adjacent tooling. They've repeatedly owned reliability and scalability work—migrating systems to Kubernetes, containerizing hardware POCs, and designing multi-coach data ingestion and deployment pipelines. A pragmatic advocate for Clean Code, clear goals, and the right tool for the job, Kelly also mentors engineers and sets up onboarding, monitoring, and CI/CD to keep teams productive. Based in San Francisco, they bring a rare mix of low-level robotics experience (ROS/C++/Python) and modern full-stack product delivery (Next.js, GCP, Terraform). An operator at heart, Kelly’s comfort stepping into break-fix situations and codifying solutions for long-term team health is a recurring theme across their work.
