About

🌐 About Hi, I’m Johnson Lo, an ECE Master’s student at Carnegie Mellon University passionate about building scalable AI and cloud solutions. I thrive at the intersection of cloud architecture, machine learning, and real-time systems. Easy to work with, I bring both technical depth and a collaborative mindset. ☁️ AI + Cloud Expertise From deploying Kubernetes-based systems at TSMC to developing GenAI evaluation frameworks at Scale AI, I’ve built secure, scalable platforms across diverse environments. At Google Nest, I engineered an edge-cloud pipeline on GCP for real-time IoT monitoring, boosting data accuracy by 19%. I’m also AWS Solutions Architect – Associate and Google Cloud Certified Associate Cloud Engineer, showcasing proven cloud skills. 🤖 Applied AI Across Industries I’ve delivered AI-powered financial advisory tools on AWS for HKS Partners, and designed an LLM-enhanced public service robot for Honda Research using NLP, cloud APIs, and edge computing. These projects translated into measurable business impact—like reducing deployment time by 55% and cutting latency by 30%. 🚀 Entrepreneurial & Systems Thinking Beyond internships, I co-founded an AI-driven automotive safety startup that won a national competition and sold its patent for $10,000. With experience spanning distributed systems, DevOps pipelines, and multi-agent LLM research at CMU, I’m driven by systems thinking and innovation. 🤝 Let’s Connect! I’m always excited to collaborate on projects at the frontier of cloud infrastructure, AI systems, and product innovation. Let’s explore how we can build something impactful together.
