AI Solutions Architect | 10 Years Experience | 7 Years AWS

AI Solutions Architect with 10 years of experience, 7 in AWS, shipping production AI systems for regulated industries on Anthropic Claude, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Gemini. Founder of Shoot It Analytics LLC; 8 deployed systems built on modern RAG architectures (Agentic, Multimodal, Hybrid, Corrective) and multi-agent orchestration via LangGraph. Published open-source CDK construct library (@johnathan-horner/cdk-ai-constructs) on npm, and MCP servers built with FastMCP integrated with Claude Desktop and Claude Code. AWS Solutions Architect Professional plus 3 additional certifications. Daily power user of Claude Code for solution architecture and infrastructure prototyping.


Governance & Compliance

I design AI systems with governance built in from day one — not bolted on at audit time. My production work spans HIPAA-regulated healthcare (Medical Image Triage), FedRAMP-aligned legal (Document Classification), FERPA-compliant education (EduAI Connect), and SR 11-7 / SR 26-2-modeled financial services (ShootItPicks, FinTech AI, Transaction Anomaly Detection). My framework follows federal MRM principles (SR 11-7 / SR 26-2, updated by SR 26-2 in April 2026) with independent validation, PSI drift monitoring, confidence calibration, immutable audit logging, and Bedrock Guardrails baked into every system.


Experience

FOUNDER / AI SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT

Shoot It Analytics LLC
Brooklyn, NY
  • Shipped 8 production AI systems on AWS using modern RAG architectures (Agentic, Multimodal, Hybrid, Corrective) — including ConnectIQ (AI-powered call center SaaS) and @johnathan-horner/cdk-ai-constructs (published npm CDK construct library) — across financial services, healthcare, education, and government
  • Built MCP servers with FastMCP that expose tools, resources, and workflow prompts so AI assistants connect to backend systems without manual handoffs
  • Set up CI/CD with GitHub Actions, documented all FastAPI endpoints with OpenAPI, wrote model cards for every ML model, and recorded architecture decisions for every service selection
  • Built a real-time fraud detection system: PyTorch autoencoder scores transactions via Kinesis streaming, flagged transactions go to a 4-node LangGraph investigation agent on Bedrock Claude, full SR 11-7 / SR 26-2 governance with PSI drift monitoring
  • Built a medical image triage system: TensorFlow EfficientNetB0 classifies images and routes to physicians based on confidence (above 0.9 auto-triage, 0.7-0.9 expedited, below 0.7 senior review), HIPAA-compliant audit trail
  • Built a legal document classifier: fine-tuned DistilBERT handles classification at 10K docs/day, three parallel LangGraph agents analyze clauses, check regulatory compliance, and generate attorney briefings, FedRAMP-aligned
  • Launched ShootItPicks (shootitpicks.com) as a revenue-generating SaaS with Stripe billing, a 5-step Chain of Thought AI pipeline, Monte Carlo CVaR risk engine running 10K simulations, and an MRM calibration layer that corrects model confidence against real historical accuracy
