Portrait of Jonathan Johnson-Swagel
Chicago based program leader in AI, systems, and ethics

About

I build and lead applied AI programs that turn high friction, language heavy workflows into governed, auditable, and widely adopted systems. Over the past year at Amazon Web Services my work returned more than 2,600 analyst hours, reduced seven figure exposure through presubmission controls, and grew self service platforms to more than 120 monthly active users with 99.9 percent reliability. This site curates essays, talks, and notes on how AI, governance, and language create durable value for teams and customers.
