I’m Scott Gordon, and I build production AI systems and platform foundations

I’m an AI and platform engineer focused on shipping systems that hold up in production. My work spans cloud infrastructure, API services, retrieval workflows, and delivery automation, with an emphasis on reliability, security, and operational clarity.

Across Azure and AWS environments, I design and operate systems with Terraform, Kubernetes, FastAPI, and CI/CD pipelines. At VivSoft, I supported secure Azure delivery for federal programs and automated operations with GitHub Actions and scripting. At Slalom Consulting, I helped modernize cloud infrastructure and deployment workflows for enterprise clients.

I combine platform engineering discipline with practical AI implementation, including LangChain, Transformers, vector search, and production-minded application design. I enjoy turning complex technical ideas into maintainable systems teams can adopt quickly and improve over time.

  • “Scott is an platform engineer who possesses strong and evolving skills in Terraform, CI/CD, and Python. He is a passionate learner with an insatiable appetite for acquiring new skills. His Terraform skills enable him to efficiently manage infrastructure as code (particularly in AWS). His experience with Bitbucket, GitLab and other CI/CD tools enabled automation of the same. Scott recently completed the "application landing zone" (IaC and pipeline to deploy it) for a Databricks accelerator we developed internally to help our clients stand up their environments quickly.”

  • “When Scott and I worked together at Vivsoft, you could tell the drive to continually grow was strong. He brought fresh ideas and the grit to stay on task and figure out problems. Our team productivity hurt significantly when his position was cut for budget reasons.”
